    1 Preheat oven to 180ºC. Slit each chicken breast horizontally to make a pocket.

    2 Stuff pockets with tomato slices, basil and mozzarella. Secure pockets with small wooden cocktail sticks.

    3 Heat a little oil spray in a non-stick frying pan. Place each breast in pan to brown for 2 minutes on each side. Remove breasts and place in a baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes or until juices run clear.

    4 Assemble rocket, cherry tomatoes and drizzle with dressing. Serve immediately.

    Variations

    • Try reduced-fat cream cheese instead of mozzarella for a creamier taste.
    • Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free dressing.
