Best 4 Cornbread Stuffed Chicken Recipes

STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CORNBREAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut a pocket into the side of each piece of chicken, going to within 1/2 inch of each edge. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper and chicken livers; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sage; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Pour in the chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Gently stir in the cornbread crumbs and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Spoon some of the stuffing into the pocket of each piece of chicken. Arrange them in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spoon any leftover stuffing into the pan to surround the chicken. Stir together the condensed chicken soup and water; pour over the top off the chicken. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the center of the stuffed breasts has reached 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) and the chicken has browned on top.

CORNBREAD STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Spread cornbread cubes out on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon basil, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, 1 teaspoon sage and 1/2 teaspoon oregano. Toast cornbread mixture in preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally (do not crumble, but dry completely).
• In a large bowl, toss cornbread with chopped onion, fresh parsley, melted margarine, egg yolks, ricotta cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, toss potatoes with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon basil, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon sage, 1/2 teaspoon oregano and 2 tablespoons oil. Place in oiled roasting pan.
• Fill chicken loosely with stuffing. If any is left over, put it in a greased baking dish. Brush with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cover, and bake for 1 hour, or until potatoes are tender. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F. Leave the lid off, and bake for another hour, or until juices run clear. Baste chicken with pan juices every 15 minutes. If you have a baking dish of stuffing, bake it in the oven the last 30 minutes. When chicken is done, reheat the potatoes (I like to fry them in a little oil in a skillet to reheat).

CRANBERRY AND CORNBREAD STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Put water and cranberry sauce in saucepan. Melt over medium/low heat. Whisk if needed to blend.
• Melt butter in sauté pan over medium/low heat. Once melted, add cranberries and cook until popping.
• Add garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, sage, salt, pepper, and cornbread to sauté pan. Mix together.
• Cover a pan with aluminum foil. Place chicken breasts flat. Place a scoop of stuffing mixture in the middle of each breast. Wrap chicken and hold closed with toothpicks.
• Pour 1/2 melted cranberry sauce over chicken.
• Cook in oven for approximately 30 minutes.
• When finished, take out toothpicks. It's easier to pull them out if they are twisted first.
• If desired, pour rest of cranberry sauce over cooked chicken and return to oven until sauce is heated.

ROSEMARY CORNBREAD STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• PREPARE CHICKEN What you'll need: 2 chicken breasts (fresh or frozen fresh) 2 tbsp olive oil fresh ground black pepper to season kosher salt to season Prep and season the chicken, slice the breast down the center so it opens like a butterfly. Heat the skillet with olive oil. Add chicken and seer on high heat for 1 minute each side, or until both sides are light golden brown. Set aside and cover with foil. PREPARE STUFFING Now for the amazing stuffing: 2 tbsp of butter 1/4 cup of red onion (diced) salt/pepper to taste 1 tbsp minced garlic (yes, the kind you get in a jar already prepped!) 1 cup cornbread stuffing mix. I always have some left over from Thanksgiving or some other dinner party. If not, just get the smallest box or make your own croutons and flavor them. 3 tbsp of stuffing seasoning from the same box a few splashes of water to stir up drippings from pan 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese. Get the good kind of cheese. 2 tbsp of dried rosemary Add the butter to the olive oil left over from the chicken. Lower the heat to about medium high. Once the butter is melted add the onion, a few pinches of salt, pepper and cook until translucent looking (about 3 minutes). Add minced garlic and stir. Now, add the stuffing mix and the seasoning. Stir. At this point you may need to add some water to mix up the seasoning mix so it can absorb well into the cornbread. Once mixed well, add the grated cheddar cheese and mix until melted. In the same pan, open the breasts and fill them with the stuffing. I used a toothpick to secure a bit so the stuffing stays in. It's okay to have stuffing left in the pan. It will crust up a bit and make a yummy side! Grate cheese over the top of the chicken, cover skillet and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
