Cheesy goodness of Tomato and Mozzarella Hasselback Chicken - this is one chicken dish you just have to try.
I had some chicken breasts to use up for dinner and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with them, I must admit I prefer to use chicken thigh’s or a whole chicken, I just find they are better in dishes like casseroles, curries, or baked etc as breast meat tends to overcook very easily.
So I figured the best thing to do with the chicken breasts was to oven baked them with some kind of stuffing or filling.
I had recently been enjoying using up my healthy extras on Ryvita's placed under the grill with some cheese and tomato slices until the cheese melts - so good!!
However I had no healthy extra b choice leftover and so I figured this would work really well with the chicken breast, if I sliced it just like these yummy Garlic Hasselback potatoes, and stuffed it with tomato slices and mozzarella.
Delicious tomatoes keep the chicken breast moist, and then, of course, you also have all the melted cheesy goodness of the mozzarella cheese - perfection!!
A pinch of Himalayan sea salt and some black pepper along with some chopped fresh Italian parsley. finishes the dish off nicely.
How can I add a ⅓ speed foods to this Tomato and Mozzarella Hasselback Chicken?
For speed foods, you can pick any vegetables or salad of your choice, this dish will pair really well with a huge variety of speed foods. I went for some simple broccoli, which I steamed a little and then sauteed in a pan with a little cooking oil spray a pinch of chilli flakes and some salt and black pepper.

Oh my goodness....yummmyyyy!!! What a fab way to brighten up boring ole chick breasts! Served with new season Irish new potatoes & dry friend courgette & mange tout 😉 very very tasty....I added a little dry basil before cooking, that was the only add on if my own....lush, Tks again for your recipe wizardry 🙂 xx won't let me give you 5 stars ??? But I do give it 5!
I haven't made this for a while and your comment has just drawn it to my attention again, so guess what I plan on making this week 🙂 - so glad you enjoyed it.
This is really easy and delicious ! Recommended 100% !!
This is a delicious way to serve what can sometimes be a rather plain piece of meat. Easy to prepare and pretty much goes with any veg or potato. A perfect dish for a slimmingworlder 🙂 I love it!!
Yummy! Highly recommend!
Fancied chicken but didnt know what I wanted with it, so I gave this a try. So glad I did. It was so quick and easy to make.
Glad it didn't have many ingredients, as I had a screaming toddler around my ankles lol.
Might of over did it with the Paprika though as it didn't have a recommend amount lol
I'll definitely be making this again xx
I remember those days well. So glad you enjoyed it.
Another firm favourite! Love this dish and so do the family. So quick and easy too!
Delicious. Will definately make again. Lovely and fresh and the tomatoes made it moist. My chicken breasts can be over done sometimes. Thanks for sharing.
It’s one of my favourite recipes with chicken breasts. So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for commenting.
Made this tonight and was really yummy. I added fresh basil leaves when serving for a real caprese taste. Only comment is that I had to cook chicken a lot longer than instructed as it wasn't cooked through. May be the breasts we're too close in the pan or were quite big though 🙂
Looks delicious! Do you use fresh mozzarella or grated for this?
definitely use fresh mozzarella for this.
Of all the recipes this has to be the nicest ever that everyone absolutely loved. And so easy.
so glad to hear you really enjoyed this, thank you.
Tasty and juicy. I didn’t have sweet paprika, only smokey, so I omitted it.
I served it with Hasselback potatoes.
