Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 egg
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
5 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
½ cup crumbled cooked bacon
½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
½ cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup mayonnaise
3 cloves garlic, crushed
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Whisk egg in shallow bowl. Dip and coat chicken breasts in the egg.
  • Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Brown chicken, flipping to ensure both sides are cooked, 5 to 7 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, combine spinach, bacon, tomatoes, Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, and garlic in a medium bowl.
  • Remove chicken from the pan. Slice into the meatiest, thickest side of each breast carefully in a butterfly-cut, creating a "pocket" for the stuffing. Stuff liberally with spinach mixture.
  • Place stuffed chicken into a baking dish, with stuffing mixture at the top. If pieces cannot stand on their own, lean against each other or the side of the baking dish to ensure stuffing remains inside chicken. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper. Cover the dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 40 minutes.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 bone-in chicken breast halves (14 ounces each)
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves, about 8
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 ounces Fontina or mozzarella cheese, cut into four pieces
2 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside. With a paring knife, cut a 1-inch-long slit in thick side of each breast. Insert knife, and without enlarging opening, carefully work around inside to form a pocket (make sure you do not go through the other side).
  • On a cutting board, pile basil, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, zest, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; finely chop. Divide mixture evenly, and spoon into breast pockets, spreading it around. Insert one piece of cheese in each breast pocket.
  • Close pockets, using 2 to 3 toothpicks per breast; arrange, skin side up, on baking sheet. Rub with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast until well browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) reads 165 degrees, 30 to 35 minutes. Let chicken rest 5 minutes; remove toothpicks before serving.

STUFFED TOMATO BASIL CHICKEN



Stuffed Tomato Basil Chicken image

This recipe is a great twist to everyday chicken. I was bored one afternoon and came up with this idea for dinner! This recipe can be reduced in fat by omitting the cheese and bacon.

Provided by Jodi Hanlon

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 (6 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ (12 ounce) bottle garlic and herb marinade
16 fresh basil leaves
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
4 slices provolone cheese
12 slices bacon
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, slice chicken breasts horizontally, without slicing them completely in half. Open the chicken breasts like a book. Place chicken and marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • Place opened chicken breasts on a broiler pan. Place 4 basil leaves on the bottom half of each chicken breast. Top each with 2 or 3 tomato slices and 1 slice of cheese, and fold over top half of chicken (if necessary, fasten with toothpicks). Wrap 3 slices bacon around each chicken breast.
  • Cook in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn chicken, and cook 15 minutes more. Remove from oven, and sprinkle chicken with Parmesan. Return to oven, and cook until cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use chicken breasts of similar size.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, use a rolling pin or the side of a heavy skillet to flatten the chicken breasts.
  • For a more flavorful stuffing, use a variety of cheeses, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, and cheddar.
  • If you don't have fresh tomatoes, use sun-dried tomatoes or diced canned tomatoes.
  • To prevent the chicken from drying out, bake it at a high temperature for a short amount of time.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
