Triple Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipes

CHEESY GARLIC STUFFED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, mozzarella, ¼ cup parmesan, butter, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning until well mixed.
• Cut about a 3-inch wide pocket into the thick side of each chicken breast (almost to the other side, but do not cut all the way through).
• Stuff ¼ of the cheese filling into each chicken breast and secure it with toothpicks. Set aside.
• Get out 3 shallow bowls for the breading station. In one bowl, mix the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. Put the eggs in the second bowl. Mix the breadcrumbs, ¼ cup parmesan, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in the third.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
• Dip each side of the chicken in the flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumb mixture. Place the chicken in the hot skillet and repeat until each chicken breast is breaded and cooking.
• Cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is 165°F at the thickest point.
• Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and serve.

CHEESY STUFFED LEMON CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Split chicken breasts down the middle with a knife, but do not cut fully in half.
• Mix cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, buttermilk, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon thyme together in a bowl. Divide mixture and stuff evenly into split chicken breasts. Set into a casserole dish.
• Mix mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon thyme together in a separate bowl. Apply mayo mixture evenly to both sides of the chicken breasts.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chicken breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
