One Pot Italian Creamy Stuffed Chicken
Ingredients:
-
3 chicken breasts
-
6 thick slices of mozzarella
-
1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes in oil
-
1 cup of chopped spinach
-
6 leaves of basil
-
1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
-
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
-
Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of butter
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
-
1/2 cup of heavy cream
-
1/2 cup of chicken broth
-
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
-
1/4 cup of pecorino romano cheese
-
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
-
Slice each chicken breast horizontally at the thickest part, but not all the way through. Open up the chicken breasts like a book.
-
Stuff each chicken breast with 2 basil leaves, mozzarella slices, chopped spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes.
-
Season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Carefully seal the chicken breasts closed using three toothpicks, ensuring the filling is secure.
-
Heat an oven-safe skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil from the sun-dried tomato jar, and one tablespoon of butter.
-
Sear the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet until they are browned on each side, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
-
Once browned, remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
-
Wipe out most of the oil from the skillet, leaving about a tablespoon.
-
In a bowl, prepare the creamy garlic sauce. Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, chopped garlic, and pecorino romano cheese. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
-
Return the seared chicken breasts, and the creamy garlic sauce to the skillet, pouring the creamy garlic sauce over them.
-
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbling.
-
Once done, remove the skillet from the oven (careful, it will be hot!). Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
-
Serve the One Pot Creamy Italian Stuffed Chicken with a side of pasta, rice, or broccoli. Enjoy!
Tips and Tricks:
-
Be cautious when slicing the chicken breasts to avoid cutting all the way through. This ensures the filling stays intact during cooking.
-
Use an oven-safe skillet or a skillet with a removable handle
