  3. Stuff each chicken breast with approximately 2-3 tablespoons of filling and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  4. In a hot skillet with olive oil, sear the stuffed chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure juiciness.
