Ingredients:

Serving

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 tbsp fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup pesto sauce (you can use store bought or use your favorite homemade )

1/2 cup roasted red pepper, sliced

Directions:

Pre-heat grill to high heat.
Oil grill with light coat of oil (for charcoal oil before heating).
Rinse chicken;pat dry.
With sharp knife, cut a pocket deep lengthwise into the edge of each chicken breast. be careful not to cut all the way through.
Season chicken with pepper.
Spread 1 tablespoon pesto into each pocket.
Fill each pocket with 1/4 of mozzarella balls and 1/4 of the red pepper slices.
Spread remaining pesto over outside of chicken breasts to give it a light, even coating.
Lay chicken on oil grill. Close lid.
Cook until browned on bottom (about 7 minutes).
