Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, trimmed
½ cup crumbled fat-free pepper Jack cheese
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
12 ounces artichoke hearts in water
12 ounces canned mushroom pieces
½ cup white wine, divided

Tips:

  • Pick the right chicken breasts: Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife to make a pocket in each chicken breast: This will help the stuffing stay inside the chicken while it cooks.
  • Don't overstuff the chicken breasts: Too much stuffing will make the chicken difficult to cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the stuffing: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Season the stuffing well: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake the chicken breasts at a high temperature: This will help the chicken cook quickly and evenly.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Skinny stuffed chicken is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy chicken. It's a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of vegetables, herbs, and spices. Plus, it's a great way to get your daily dose of protein and vegetables. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful chicken dish, give skinny stuffed chicken a try.
