Cheesy Garlic Butter Stuffed Chicken: The Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 21 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Cheesy Garlic Butter Stuffed Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Prepare Chicken Breasts: Take each chicken breast and make a pocket by slicing it horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
4. Stuff Chicken: Generously fill each chicken breast pocket with the cheese mixture, pressing to ensure it stays in place.
5. Secure Chicken: Use toothpicks to secure the openings of the stuffed chicken breasts, preventing the filling from leaking out during cooking.
6. Melt Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with additional minced garlic and a pinch of salt.
7. Coat Chicken: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish, drizzle the garlic butter mixture over each piece, ensuring they are well-coated.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
9. Rest Chicken: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks.
10. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and added freshness before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible meal that’s sure to impress!
