4 people
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C in convection mode.
2
Place two chopsticks on either side of the chicken breast, then proceed to slice it into approximately 1/2 cm thick slices. The chopsticks will prevent you from cutting all the way through, keeping the slices connected.
3
Stuff the slices with cheese, sun-dried tomatoes (blanched for one minute in water), bacon slices, and basil leaves.
4
Prepare the Mutti Finely chopped tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, a clove of garlic, and a pinch of salt, cooking for 5 minutes with the lid on.
5
Cover the stuffed chicken breasts with the sauce, add a drizzle of oil, and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes.
6
Afterward, add diced mozzarella, a sprinkle of oregano, and bake again for another 5 minutes until the mozzarella is melted.
Accordion Chicken is a family-friendly main course with a unique presentation. The name comes from the technique used to cut and stuff the chicken, creating an aesthetically pleasing dish that is also flavorful. In this recipe, we used bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, provolone, and basil for the filling, but feel free to customize with ingredients like peppers, spicy salami, olives, mushrooms, or spinach based on your preferences and ingredient availability.
To achieve juicy and flavorful Accordion Chicken, we recommend baking it in the oven. The delicious Mutti Tomato Polpa ensures a tender and succulent result that, combined with various fillings, surprises with every bite.
