CHICKEN BREASTS, ORANGE STUFFED

Chicken Breasts, Orange Stuffed image

This recipe has been a favorite of mine for almost 30 years, & although it is messy to make, it is fairly easy and makes a great looking main dish for dinner guests. For bread crumbs I usually use a cracked wheat or winter wheat bread, dice it up and dry it out in the oven before crushing it into crumbs. The chicken breasts for this recipe should be large.

Ingredients

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
salt
pepper
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 orange, peeled, sectioned, cubed
1/2 cup golden raisin
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

Place breast halves, one at a time, between plastic wrap & using a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat mallet, flatten each piece until it is about 1/4" thick.
Pull off the wrap & sprinkle lightly with salt & pepper, if desired.
In a small skillet, saute the onion in 1 Tbsp of butter until tender. Stir in the cubed orange, raisins, 1/4 cup of bread crumbs & thyme.
Spread each breast evenly with the orange & crumb mixture, then roll up each breast with the stuffing inside. Tuck in the ends to help seal.
Beat together the egg & milk, then dip the rolled up breasts into the egg mixture. Roll each breast carefully in the 1 cup of dry bread crumbs, & place in a baking dish with high sides. Cover loosely & refrigerate 30 minutes or until ready to bake.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F, & bake for 30 minutes until golden brown, basking several times with the melted butter during the last 15 minutes of baking time.

Tips:

Select fresh and high-quality chicken breasts: Look for plump and firm chicken breasts with a pink or pale red color. Avoid any chicken that has an off odor or discoloration.
Butterfly the chicken breasts: This technique involves slicing the chicken breast horizontally, creating a pocket for stuffing. Use a sharp knife and make sure to cut almost all the way through, but not completely.
Use a variety of fillings: The orange-almond stuffing used in this recipe is just one example of a delicious filling for stuffed chicken breasts. You can also try other combinations of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and cheeses.
Season the chicken breasts well: Before stuffing and cooking the chicken breasts, season them liberally with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will enhance the flavor of the chicken.
Cook the chicken breasts thoroughly: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Conclusion:

With a little planning and effort, you can create delicious and impressive stuffed chicken breasts that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you are hosting a dinner party or simply looking for a tasty and nutritious meal, stuffed chicken breasts are a great choice. Experiment with different fillings and cooking methods to find your favorite variations.
