Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 jalapeño, diced
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine blackberries, diced jalapeño, cream cheese, shredded cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Slice the chicken: Carefully create a pocket in each chicken breast.
- Stuff the chicken: Fill each pocket with your creamy blackberry mixture.
- Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in your skillet over medium heat and sear the stuffed chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides—about 3-4 minutes per side.

- Rest before serving: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
Notes
You can prepare the stuffing a day earlier. Avoid overfilling the chicken to prevent spilling during cooking.
