Fresh herbs and parmesan cheese come together to make a delightful Herb Parmesan Stuffed Chicken. Tastes like something from a restaurant, but easy enough for any weekday night. Thanks to the fresh herbs and parmesan cheese, it has tons of flavor but it’s light on calories and fat. In under an hour, you can have a crave-worthy meal that will please the entire family.
Start with lots of herbs, whatever ones that you like…I chose cilantro, basil, rosemary, spicy oregano and lemon thyme. These are the herbs that I have currently in my garden. Chop them finely and mix with parmesan cheese and fresh garlic.
Stuff the chicken breasts and bake until cooked through.
