Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 large Avocado
• 200 grams Cooked prawns
• 6 pieces Sun-dried tomatoes
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil
• 80 grams Cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 12 pieces Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Finely chop the cooked prawns, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil, and then mix them into the avocado along with the cream cheese. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and mix until well combined.

Step 4

Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the avocado-prawn mixture. Secure the opening with 2-3 toothpicks to ensure the filling stays inside while cooking.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, remaining salt, black pepper, and paprika. Brush this mixture evenly over the stuffed chicken breasts to season the outside.

Step 6

Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil, and sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).

Step 8

Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes and serve warm, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
