Stuffed Baked Chicken

5 Bone in chicken breast, skin removed

one can of diced Italian seasoned tomatoes
two cups of Italian seasoned bread crumbs
Parmesan cheese
olive oil
dried parsley
dried oregano
Fresh basil leaves

After you remove skin from chicken find the spot on the breast where the chicken wing was cut from. Push your thumb into the chicken at that spot till you find the cavity between the breast meat and the chicken tender. Widen that space as much as you can without tearing a hole into the side of the chicken breast.

Mix together the diced tomatoes and bread crumbs. Put at least two basil leaves into the cavity. Then stuff the cavity with the bread crumb mixture.

Arrange the breast in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 90 minutes. Remove foil. Brush olive oil on top of the chicken, sprinkle on parmesan, parsley and oregano. Put chicken under the broiler until top has a nice golden brown color to it.

I served this with marina sauce and four cheese tortellini.
