Tips

  • Use a flavorful stuffing. The stuffing is what will give your chicken its flavor, so make sure you use a stuffing that you love. Some popular stuffing options include bread stuffing, rice stuffing, and vegetable stuffing.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked through. Chicken is considered cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the chicken's temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast.
  • Let the chicken rest before slicing. Allowing the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing will help the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more moist and flavorful chicken.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Stuffed ranch chicken is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, green beans, and roasted vegetables.
