Preparation of Stuffed Chicken Breast with Vegetables
Start by chopping all the herbs, keeping the juniper berries whole. I added 3 tablespoons of oil and some sweet paprika, and emulsified the marinade.
Next, I cut the chicken breast lengthwise and made close incisions without cutting all the way through. I generously seasoned with the marinade and let it rest while I prepared the other ingredients.
At this point, I sliced the vegetables very thinly,
Then I placed the 2 chicken fillets on parchment paper and inserted the sliced vegetables between the cuts in the chicken, alternating them: zucchini, onion, tomato. I placed diced provola cheese between the cuts and a little on top.
Decorate with the excess vegetables framing the chicken.
I transferred the chicken breast to an oval baking dish for baking in the oven, for air frying it is placed in suitable containers.
And I put it in the oven.
You can cook it in a traditional oven for 15 minutes at 356°F. Then another 3 minutes on grill at 392°F
Or in a combination microwave oven for 15 minutes on micro-grill at maximum power.
For air frying cook for 15 minutes at 356°F
Once ready, let it rest for 10 minutes, then serve it whole or sliced
