Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 box Stove Top stuffing mix
- 1/4 cup freshly gated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons per breast
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup cream of mushroom soup
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each boneless, skinless chicken breast without slicing all the way through.
- In a small bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- In a medium saucepan, cook the stuffing mix according to the package directions. For this recipe, I used 1 1/2 cups of water, 4 tablespoons of butter, and 1/2 cup of cream of mushroom soup. If the stuffing is too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until your desired moisture is reached.
- Season both the top of the chicken breast, bottom of the chicken breasts and the inside of each pocket with the spice mixture.
- Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the stuffing mixture into each pocket and add 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top of the stuffing in each chicken breast. Secure each pocket with toothpicks to prevent the stuffing from spilling out.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown each stuffed breast for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the skillet (or transfer the chicken to a baking dish) to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
