Why Will You Enjoy Stuffed Chicken Breast?

From Filled Chicken Parmesan to Easy Chicken Kiev, and don’t forget about Chicken Pesto Roll-Ups, we love stuffed chicken breast dishes. This Spinach Stuffed Chicken is a must-try if you’re seeking for fresh chicken supper ideas!

Tender chicken filled with cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, and fresh spinach. At first mouthful, it was love at first bite! In the oven, the filling turns extremely creamy and cheesy, and it keeps the chicken breast moist.

Stuffed Chicken Ingredients:

The secret to producing delicious filled chicken breasts is to utilize uniformly sized pieces. As a result, they all finish baking at the same time.

• We use 3 big, boneless, skinless chicken breasts totaling around 1 3/4 to 2 lbs.
• Seasoning – season the exterior of the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
• 4 oz. chilled block-style cream cheese
• Mayonnaise — makes the filling very creamy, allowing it to melt without curdling. Mayonnaise improves a wide range of foods!
• Garlic – It is essential to use fresh garlic cloves in the stuffing. For this, we utilize a garlic press.
• Spinach – fresh chopped spinach is excellent. See our remarks about frozen substitutions below.
• The mix of mozzarella and parmesan cheeses gives the right blend of saltiness and melty cheesiness.

How To Make Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts?

This baked filled chicken breast dish begins with a little pan sear on the stove and then bakes in the oven.

There is no cream cheese in this spinach-stuffed chicken breast. Instead, I was inspired by spanakopita and utilized feta. It had the perfect creamy texture and salty flavor.

1. Make slits in the breasts of the chicken. Dry the chicken and season it with salt.
2. Sauté the shallot in a little olive oil.
3. Add the spinach and mix well. Turn off the heat in the skillet.
4. Combine the walnuts and cheeses in a mixing bowl.
5. Fill the chicken breasts with the spinach filling.
6. Toothpicks are used to close the gaps.
7. In a skillet, sear the chicken with butter.
8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 425°F. Place the chicken on a dish and let aside to rest. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and ENJOY!

This Cream Cheese Filled Chicken Breast Dish Is Ideal For a Ketogenic Diet:

I could practically live on cream cheese, and it’s ideal for keto. So low in carbohydrates, rich in fat, and poor in protein.

Spinach is an excellent source of potassium. I’m a stickler about keeping my electrolytes in check. I can always tell when they’re out of whack, and that spoils my entire day. Nobody wants to walk about feeling like they’re about to pass out, you know?

Tips And Tricks:

• The hack portion of this Easy Chicken Breast Recipe comes when you make the “spinach dip” to place into the chicken breast.
• I discovered that you could create spinach dip with only two ingredients: Boursin cheese and sautéed spinach (I’d want to attempt this for a simple dip sometime). Cheesy, herbaceous, incredible deliciousness.
  The spinach dip complements the chicken well, and you may use as little or as much as you prefer.
• When you buy pre-made spinach dip, it contains a slew of unnecessary ingredients.
• It’s best to make our own with only baby spinach and herbed cream cheese!

Chicken In a Single Pan!

A scrumptious stuffed chicken dish that isn’t too good to be true!

This one-pot dinner has me completely smitten. If you don’t use all of the “spinach dip,” save the remainder in the refrigerator and use it on anything and everything for the next week!
I like it spread on baked potatoes, as a cracker dip, on STEAK…anything. You’re going to adore it!

What is The Temperature Of Cooked Chicken Inside?

When your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, it is completely cooked. Make sure to verify the temperature of the real meat, not the spinach dip filling, when making this Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe.

How Long Does It Take To Cook Chicken?

Because you’re chopping the chicken in half and filling it with cheese, each side is pretty thin. This implies that each side will cook in less time than you are accustomed to.
Each side took approximately 3-4 minutes to cook all the way through (ZERO pink), but it’s always a good idea to check your internal temperature.

Notes:

1. To stuff a chicken breast, cut a pocket in the side of the breast, taking care not to cut all the way through.
2. I like to put my palm on top of the breast to feel how far the knife is entered.
3. After you’ve sliced the pocket, stuff it with your filling using a tiny spoon or your fingers.
4. Secure the filling with a toothpick to prevent it from leaking out.
5. You can use crumbled goat cheese instead of feta, or make spinach and mozzarella filled chicken using shredded mozzarella and/or shredded provolone cheese.
6. If you have your heart set on spinach cream cheese filled chicken breast, I believe you may experiment with cream cheese here as well.
7. Omit the cheese and replace it with 3 to 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast for a dairy-free filled chicken breast. Instead of butter, use olive oil.
8. You may prepare the stuffing ingredients up to a day ahead of time. Place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill. You may also slice the chicken breasts up to 1 day ahead of time and chill them until ready to fill.

What Should You Serve With This Recipe?

Serve leftovers with red sauce over spaghetti, or try this spinach filled chicken breast with cream sauce (like in this Chicken Alfredo Bake). This stuffed chicken would also be delicious served over a bed of Quick Garlic Pasta with Olive Oil & Parmesan.

Reheating Stuffed Chicken:

Because chicken breast is a lean protein, it can be difficult to reheat without it becoming rough or tasting like reheated chicken. Although stuffed chicken is best served fresh, it reheats well. Using a thermometer, check that the chicken reaches 165°F in the middle.

• The oven is the recommended way. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, cover with foil to avoid drying, and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated.
• Cook on the stovetop in a lightly oiled pan over low heat, covered, until heated. At least once, flip the chicken.
• Microwave – this is the least desired option, but if you must, split the chicken in half to allow the heat to enter more deeply. Sprinkle water and any pan juices over the chicken, heat on 50% power, and check every 30-45 seconds until it’s boiling hot all the way through.
