Kittencal's Cream Cheese-Stuffed Chicken Breast image

If you are a garlic-lover such as myself you may want to mix in 1 tablespoon fresh finely minced garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder when melting the butter --- plan ahead the rolled breasts need to be refrigerated for a minimum of 3 hours or up to 24 hours before breading, this will allow for easier handling while breading and firm up the cream cheese mixture --- these are very good!

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup melted butter, slightly cooled (might need more)
1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (optional)
1/2 cup finely grated mozzarella cheese (optional) or 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (optional)
1 (8 ounce) cream cheese (very soft but not melted)
1 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese (another 1/4 cup won't hurt)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)
1/2-3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pound the chicken breasts to slightly flat between two pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap.
  • In a bowl combine all filling ingredients until very well combined.
  • Spread the filling mixture onto each of the chicken breasts; starting at the short end roll up each breast, don't worry about covering the whole breast with the filling (if desired you may secure each breast with a long toothpick but it is not necessary as after the breasts are chilled they will hold together).
  • Place the breasts on a large plate or platter; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for minimum 3 hours or up to 24 hours (the longer the better).
  • Place the melted butter in bowl.
  • In a shallow bowl combine the breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and seasoned salt (if using).
  • Gently dip each rolled breast firstly into melted butter then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Place the coated breasts seam-side down into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish spacing slightly apart.
  • Set oven to 375°F (set oven rack to bottom position).
  • Bake for about 30 minutes (some of the cream cheese mixture might spill out while cooking, just scoop it onto the plate when serving).
  • If using sprinkle finely grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese onto and around the breasts and return to oven for about 3 minutes to melt.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the cream cheese filling was a bit too thick.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the cream cheese filling was bland. I will not be making this again.

This recipe was a little bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I'll use less cream cheese.
