Cream Cheese & Herb Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

This is a versatile recipe using your favorite herb with cream cheese, sandwiched in a chicken breast half, then breaded and baked for 30 minutes. Presto, quick and delicious dinner! I like oregano; sage or basil are other possibilities. Try 'em all!

Time 55m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (not the monstrous ones, the "halved" ones)
2 tablespoons softened cream cheese
3 green onions, minced
4 tablespoons fresh sage or 4 tablespoons fresh basil
salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/3 cup flour
1 egg, beaten with
1 teaspoon water
1/4 cup plain dried breadcrumbs (like Progresso)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degres F.
  • Flatten open chicken breasts; spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on one half of each breast (resist the temptation to use more-- a little cream cheese goes a looooooong way!).
  • Evenly distribute the fresh herbs on top of that and season with salt and pepper.
  • "Fold"the chicken breasts back up and press tightly, tucking in cream cheese a bit.
  • In a shallow dish, combine the 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper, paprika and flour.
  • In another dish, pour the beaten egg mixture.
  • In a third dish, combine bread crumbs, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese.
  • First dip chicken breasts in flour mixture, then beaten egg mixture, then bread crumb mixture.
  • Place chicken on a lightly greased baking sheet, drizzle about a tablespoon of melted butter on each breast and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until cooked through and tender.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but the chicken was tough and the stuffing was dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was way too complicated. I would not recommend it to anyone who is not an experienced cook.

The chicken was overcooked, but the stuffing was still good. I would recommend cooking the chicken for less time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to the stuffing.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the stuffing was delicious. I would recommend using a different cooking method for the chicken.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The chicken was moist and juicy, and the herb-cream cheese stuffing was a perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again.
