Instructions

Marinate the chicken by whisking together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken well and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Make deep cuts in each chicken breast to create pockets for stuffing.
Fill the pockets with tomato slices, mozzarella slices, and basil leaves.
Bake on a prepared baking sheet for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Allow to rest for five minutes before serving.
