Cheesy Garlic Stuffed Chicken Recipes

CHEESY GARLIC STUFFED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, mozzarella, ¼ cup parmesan, butter, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning until well mixed.
• Cut about a 3-inch wide pocket into the thick side of each chicken breast (almost to the other side, but do not cut all the way through).
• Stuff ¼ of the cheese filling into each chicken breast and secure it with toothpicks. Set aside.
• Get out 3 shallow bowls for the breading station. In one bowl, mix the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. Put the eggs in the second bowl. Mix the breadcrumbs, ¼ cup parmesan, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in the third.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
• Dip each side of the chicken in the flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumb mixture. Place the chicken in the hot skillet and repeat until each chicken breast is breaded and cooking.
• Cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is 165°F at the thickest point.
• Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and serve.

CREAM CHEESE, GARLIC, AND CHIVE STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, chives, and garlic. Divide the mixture into 4 balls.
• Place 1 cream cheese ball in the center of each butterflied chicken breast half. Fold the chicken over the cream cheese, wrap with a slice of turkey bacon, and secure with toothpicks. Arrange the chicken in a baking dish. Pour the butter over the chicken.
• Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bacon is crisp and the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

CHEESY MUSHROOM-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
• Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise, leaving one side attached. Open breasts to lay flat, resembling a butterfly.
• On one half of each breast, layer 1/4 of the mushrooms. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon each of onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley flakes over each one. Season with pepper, then sprinkle about 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese over top. Fold the ungarnished sides over the toppings and secure the edges with toothpicks to hold them together while baking. Transfer to the prepared baking pan.
• Mix condensed soup with milk and pour over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar over top, then add bread crumbs to cover each breast.
• Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake until the bread crumb topping is crispy and the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHEESY GARLIC BUTTER MUSHROOM STUFFED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C or 400°F. Melt butter in a large (over 12-inch or 30 cm) oven proof pan or skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add in mushrooms, salt and pepper (to your tastes), and parsley. Cook while stirring occasionally until soft. Set aside and allow to cool while preparing your chicken. Pat breasts dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder and dried parsley. Rub each piece to evenly coat in seasoning. Horizontally slice a slit through the thickest part of each breast to form a pocket. Place 2 slices of mozzarella into each breast pocket. Divide the mushroom mixture into four equal portions and fill each breast with the mushroom mixture (leave the juices in the pan for later. If there are any left over mushrooms, don't worry. You'll use them later). Top the mushroom mixture with 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese per breast. Seal with two or three toothpicks near the opening to keep the mushrooms inside while cooking. Heat the same pan the mushrooms were in along with the pan juices (the garlic butter will start to brown and take on a 'nutty' flavour). Add the chicken and sear until golden. Flip and sear on the other side until golden. Cover pan and continue cooking in preheated oven for a further 20 minutes, or until completely cooked through the middle and no longer pink. Serve, with pan juices and any remaining mushrooms, on top of pasta, rice or steamed vegetables. (To make the optional cream sauce, transfer chicken to a warm plate, keeping all juices in the pan.) Sauce: Fry the garlic in the leftover pan juices until fragrant (about 1 minute). Reduce heat to low heat, and add the mustard and half and half (or cream). Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and add in any remaining mushrooms and parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to simmer until the parmesan cheese has melted slightly. (If the sauce is too runny for your liking, add the cornstarch/water mixture into the centre of the pan and mix through fast to combine into the sauce. It will begin to thicken immediately). Season with a little salt and pepper to your taste. Add in the parsley and the chicken back into the pan to serve
