• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves minced garlic

• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the undrained canned diced tomatoes, dry stuffing mix, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Season with an additional pinch of salt and pepper if desired.

Step 4

Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly over the top of the chicken breasts, ensuring each one is well covered.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the stuffing mixture.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 7

After 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired, and serve hot.
