Carefully create a pocket in the chicken breast and stuff it with the chocolate mixture. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Let rest for a few minutes, garnish with fresh basil, and serve warm.
