Provided by Annie H

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
4 ounces mushrooms
1/2 ounce fresh spinach
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
3 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon tarragon
1 teaspoon garlic salt
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup water
1 ounce monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Wash and pat dry chicken thighs; lay them flat, inside up.
  • Slice mushrooms and sauté with salt and pepper until they are brown; remove from heat.
  • Wash and stem spinach.
  • Chop spinach and add to mushrooms, tossing to wilt.
  • Place about 2 tablespoons of this filling on each chicken thigh, evenly dispersing the remaining filling among the thighs as needed.
  • Divide cheese among chicken thighs.
  • Close the thighs with toothpicks (I used three per thigh) and place in a pie dish.
  • Sprinkle paprika, crushed tarragon, and garlic salt over the thighs.
  • Drizzle honey over all.
  • Add water to the pie pan, cover with foil, and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese over chicken and bake until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve with steamed veggies, rice, and a fruit salad.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken drumsticks: Look for drumsticks that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid drumsticks that are thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Stuff the drumsticks evenly: When stuffing the drumsticks, be sure to distribute the stuffing evenly so that each bite has a good amount of flavor.
  • Cook the drumsticks thoroughly: Chicken drumsticks should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the drumstick.
  • Let the drumsticks rest before serving: Once the drumsticks are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the drumsticks more tender.
  • Serve the drumsticks with your favorite dipping sauce: Stuffed chicken drumsticks are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Stuffed chicken drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a variety of stuffing options to choose from, you can customize the drumsticks to your liking. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give stuffed chicken drumsticks a try!
