- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

- Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can include sun-dried tomatoes in the stuffing.
- Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
