Stuffed Buffalo Chicken Breasts
Description
This recipe begins by preparing a filling of shredded cheddar cheese, softened Laughing Cow cheese, and minced celery, green onion, and carrot, seasoned with salt and pepper. Thin boneless chicken cutlets are laid flat and evenly spread with this mixture before being rolled up tightly. The rolled breasts are then dredged in a blend of mayonnaise, hot sauce, and lemon juice to create moisture and flavor in the coating.
After dredging, the chicken rolls are coated in crushed Ritz cracker crumbs or gluten-free panko, creating a crispy crust once baked. Baking at 400°F for 30 minutes cooks the chicken fully while crisping the exterior. A sauce made by combining melted butter with hot sauce and garlic powder is drizzled over the baked breasts to add a classic buffalo flavor and extra moistness.
The finished dish balances tender, creamy interior filling with crispy, spicy coating and tangy buffalo sauce. It can serve as an entrée paired with simple sides. The use of Laughing Cow cheese softens the filling texture, and the vegetable bits contribute subtle crunch and flavor.
