KITTENCAL'S CREAM CHEESE-STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST



Kittencal's Cream Cheese-Stuffed Chicken Breast image

If you are a garlic-lover such as myself you may want to mix in 1 tablespoon fresh finely minced garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder when melting the butter --- plan ahead the rolled breasts need to be refrigerated for a minimum of 3 hours or up to 24 hours before breading, this will allow for easier handling while breading and firm up the cream cheese mixture --- these are very good!

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup melted butter, slightly cooled (might need more)
1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (optional)
1/2 cup finely grated mozzarella cheese (optional) or 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (optional)
1 (8 ounce) cream cheese (very soft but not melted)
1 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese (another 1/4 cup won't hurt)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)
1/2-3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pound the chicken breasts to slightly flat between two pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap.
  • In a bowl combine all filling ingredients until very well combined.
  • Spread the filling mixture onto each of the chicken breasts; starting at the short end roll up each breast, don't worry about covering the whole breast with the filling (if desired you may secure each breast with a long toothpick but it is not necessary as after the breasts are chilled they will hold together).
  • Place the breasts on a large plate or platter; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for minimum 3 hours or up to 24 hours (the longer the better).
  • Place the melted butter in bowl.
  • In a shallow bowl combine the breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and seasoned salt (if using).
  • Gently dip each rolled breast firstly into melted butter then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Place the coated breasts seam-side down into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish spacing slightly apart.
  • Set oven to 375°F (set oven rack to bottom position).
  • Bake for about 30 minutes (some of the cream cheese mixture might spill out while cooking, just scoop it onto the plate when serving).
  • If using sprinkle finely grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese onto and around the breasts and return to oven for about 3 minutes to melt.

BACON WRAPPED CREAM CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by leahdavis

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 Boneless skinless chicken breast
4 tablespoons cream cheese
1/4 cup Pepperjack cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
4 to 8 pieces of bacon

Steps:

  • Cut chicken into 4 equal size pieces. Pound breast so it is about 1/4" thick. Mix together softened cream cheese, chopped green onions and shredded pepperjack cheese. Put 1/4 of this mixture into the middle of each piece of chicken. Starting at the long side, roll chicken breast up, keeping the cheese mixture to the middle. Wrap 1 to 2 slices of bacon around the chicken breast, secure with toothpick, if needed. One piece of bacon wrapped around each breast is enough. But 2 pieces of bacon for each breast fully wraps the chicken and is outstanding. Place on baking sheet and back for 30 minutes at 375 degrees F. Broil topside for about 5 minutes to fully brown and crisp bacon. Turn each breast over and broil for another 3 minutes or so to crisp up the bottom side.

Tips:

  • Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts for even cooking and easy stuffing.
  • Use a sharp knife to create a pocket in the chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
  • Mix the cream cheese filling thoroughly to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Stuff the chicken breasts generously with the cream cheese filling, but do not overstuff to prevent bursting.
  • Secure the stuffed chicken breasts with toothpicks or kitchen twine to keep the filling intact during cooking.
  • Cook the stuffed chicken breasts over medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken breasts; they are done when they reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the stuffed chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese-stuffed chicken breasts are an easy and delicious way to add variety to your weeknight meals. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. Serve the stuffed chicken breasts with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad for a complete meal. The creamy filling and tender chicken make this dish a perfect comfort food that is sure to become a favorite.
