Cooking instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally, but not all the way through, so you can open them like a book.
Lay the butterflied chicken breasts flat on a cutting board. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place 1-2 slices of roasted red pepper, a few basil leaves, and some mozzarella cheese on one side of each chicken breast.
Fold the other side of the chicken breast over the stuffing, and use cooking twine or toothpicks to secure the chicken and hold everything together.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Brush this mixture over the stuffed chicken breasts, coating them evenly.
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Carefully remove the cooking twine or toothpicks before serving.
Serve the Roasted Red Pepper & Basil Stuffed Chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, salad, or mashed potatoes.
