We wash the chicken breast well under a stream of cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess water. It is important to have the meat dry so that the spices adhere better. After cleaning it, we cut the chicken breast in half, being careful not to cut all the way through, just enough to thin it out. This technique will help us achieve more tender and easier-to-cook meat. We use a meat mallet to gently pound the meat, which will help it stretch evenly. Once we have an even thickness, we season the meat on both sides with salt, freshly ground pepper, sweet paprika, and dried basil. These spices will not only add flavor but also an appetizing appearance. While we let the meat absorb the flavors of the spices, we take care of the cheeses. We cut the cheese and mozzarella into small cubes so they melt easily during cooking. These cheeses will add a rich flavor and creamy texture to our dish. On half of the chicken breast, we sprinkle the cubes of cheese and mozzarella, followed by a handful of grated parmesan, which will provide a note of taste intensity. Then, we bring the other half of the chicken breast over the cheeses, forming a "chicken wallet." It is important to press down well with our hand so that the filling does not come out during cooking. If we notice that it does not hold well, we can use 1-2 toothpicks to secure it. We now prepare the grill pan, which we heat well and grease with a little oil so that the meat does not stick. Once the pan is hot, we place the chicken wallet in it, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Brown the meat over medium heat, covering the pan with a lid. It is recommended to cook for about a minute on each side to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and the cheeses melt perfectly. Once the chicken is nicely browned and the cheeses have melted, we take the wallet out of the pan and let it rest for a few minutes. It is served warm, alongside a fresh salad or mashed potatoes, to complete the meal. This recipe is not only delicious but also easy to prepare, making it perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion. Enjoy every bite!
