Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slices white sandwich bread, cut into cubes (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 ounces sliced deli ham, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
4 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each), thawed if frozen
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen broccoli florets, thawed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine bread, ham, sage, and 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • Lay chicken flat on a work surface. Using a paring knife, cut a 2-inch-long slit in the thick side of each breast half. Insert knife, and pivot, carefully forming a deep pocket without enlarging opening (or piercing through opposite side). Stuff each pocket with bread mixture, packing tightly; season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned on one side, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn chicken over; cover skillet, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until chicken is opaque throughout, 6 to 8 minutes more. Transfer to a plate (reserve skillet); cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • Heat remaining tablespoon oil in skillet over medium-high; add broccoli and garlic. Cook, tossing, until broccoli is warmed through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; stir in vinegar. Serve stuffed chicken with broccoli.

BROCCOLI AND HAM STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS



Broccoli and Ham Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

I bought some broccoli stuffed chicken breasts one time and they were soooooo delicious, but very expensive as a family meal, so I looked on the internet for something similar and made this recipe. This is a real keeper for our family. I also doubled this recipe because I had 8 chicken breasts, so needless to say we had leftovers. I added a little celery soup to the broccoli along with green onions, salt and pepper to flavor, for a variation and it was wonderful. The best stuffed chicken I have ever had.

HAM AND CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS



Ham and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

There's no reason weeknight dinners can't be elegant as well as easy, and this recipe is proof of that. Adding the herbs at the very end keeps them a nice bright green for serving.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Four 8- to 10-ounce boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 slices deli ham, each slice halved (about 3 ounces)
4 thin slices provolone (about 2 1/2 ounces)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives or dill
1 1/4 pounds red-skinned potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Insert a paring knife into the thickest part of each chicken breast to make a 3-inch-long pocket down the side, cutting in about halfway. Rub the insides of the pockets with 1 tablespoon of the mustard for all 4 breasts. Stuff each breast with 2 half slices of ham and 1 slice of provolone, folding them to fit. Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the chicken; reduce the heat to medium if the chicken becomes too dark towards the end of the cooking time. Cover the skillet with a lid or a piece of aluminum foil during the last 3 minutes of cooking time to finish cooking the chicken through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Check the temperature at the thickest part of the breast without stuffing.
  • Transfer the chicken to 4 plates or a cutting board and add the chicken broth and remaining 1 tablespoon mustard to the skillet. Cook, whisking, over medium-high heat until the sauce has reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and swirl in the butter and chopped herbs.
  • Depending on the size of the breasts, either put 1chicken breast on each of 4 plates or slice all the breasts and divide among 6 plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes on the side.
  • Serving suggestion: Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes, recipe follows.
  • Place a rimmed baking sheet in the center rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Thinly slice the potatoes about 1/8-inch thick and toss with the oil, salt and pepper. Carefully spread the slices on the hot baking sheet in a single layer and roast until golden and crispy, turning with a metal spatula occasionally and spreading them out to cook evenly, 30 to 35 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prepare the ingredients in advance: Chop the vegetables, measure the spices, and gather the necessary cooking tools before starting to cook. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible: Fresh ingredients often have a better flavor and texture than processed or frozen ingredients. If you can, try to use fresh vegetables, herbs, and meat for this recipe.
  • Don't overstuff the chicken breasts: Overstuffing the chicken breasts can make them difficult to cook evenly and can also cause the stuffing to burst out during cooking. Be careful not to overfill the chicken breasts, and use a toothpick or skewer to secure the opening after stuffing.
  • Cook the chicken to the proper temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will help to ensure that the chicken is safe to eat and that it is cooked through.
