I’ve been a little crazy over juicy summer peaches these days.  Can you tell by my grilled peach and pesto quinoa and Tuscan panzanella salad?

Something about juicy peaches paired with basil and balsamic in the summer is absolutely delicious.

This easy Hasselback peach caprese chicken is stuffed with juicy peach slices, fresh basil leaves and creamy mozzarella.  It’s baked in the oven and drizzled with balsamic glaze for a low carb, healthy dinner that’s also Keto approved.

A deliciously simple summer dinner recipe :).

We’re at the 55-day mark for the wedding.  HOLY COW how did that happen?

Trying to get all those Pinterest projects done, wedding invitations and all that other good stuff. 

I’m also buckling down and trying to be as healthy as possible so I can feel good in my wedding dress, but it’s so hard when I’m taste testing cupcake and pie recipes…

Cue this Hasselback peach caprese chicken: it’s a low carb, clean eating recipe that doesn’t sacrifice flavor.

A baking dish lined with brown parchment with raw chicken breasts that have been marinated and stuffed with fresh peach slices, basil and mozzarella. There's a small wooden cutting board in the background with fresh peach slices, basil and mozzarella.

How to make hasselback peach caprese chicken?

  1. Marinate the chicken breasts in an easy balsamic marinade for at least an hour or overnight.

  2. Once the chicken is marinated, make slits in each chicken breast.  Use a small paring knife to make a horizontal slit about ¾ of the way through the chicken.  Be careful not to go all the way through.  Depending on the size of your chicken, you’ll need about 4-5 slits per breast.

  3. Stuff each slit with 1 slice of peach, piece of mozzarella and a fresh basil leaf.  Repeat with each slit on each piece of chicken.

  4. Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way through.

  5. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and extra fresh basil and serve.

Hasselback caprese chicken can be prepared up to 1 day before and baked the next day.  If you want the mozzarella cheese a little golden brown, you can turn the broiler on and bake for 1-2 minutes. 

Aside from being quick and easy, this healthy stuffed caprese chicken is keto approved and low carb. 

Perfect for someone like me trying to stay healthy and fit for their first wedding dress fitting (eeeekkkk)
