Spicy Kale and Corn Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

Superfood kale and sweet corn create a duo rich in vitamin A. The pepper jack cheese adds tons of spice while binding the stuffing for the chicken. If spicy's not your thing, try Monterey Jack or Havarti cheese instead for creamy without the heat.

Time 34m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 teaspoons olive oil
5 1/2 ounces frozen chopped kale (about 2 cups)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Kosher salt
1/3 cup frozen whole kernel corn
2 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup)
Four 8-ounce boneless skinless chicken breast halves
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the kale, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the kale is softened and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the corn and cook, stirring, until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly, and then stir in the cheese.
  • Insert a thin paring knife into the thickest part of the chicken breast and cut down the side to make a 3-inch pocket. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Then evenly stuff with the kale mixture.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, 3 to 4 minutes. Rub the chicken breasts with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and sprinkle with a total of 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add all 4 chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Then lower heat to medium. Continue cooking, turning once halfway through, until just cooked through, about 14 minutes more. Insert a small paring knife into the top of the chicken to test for doneness. If any pink areas remain, cover the skillet and continue to cook until opaque.
  • Transfer the chicken and any bits of filling that fell into the skillet onto 4 plates. Stir the broth and flour together in a small bowl and then add to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the pan sauce over the chicken.

4 teaspoons olive oil
5 1/2 ounces frozen chopped kale, about 2 cups
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Kosher salt
1/3 cup frozen whole kernel corn
2 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated, about 1/2 cup

1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Add all 4 chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Then lower heat to medium.

Stir the broth and flour together in a small bowl and then add to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the pan sauce over the chicken.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken breasts. They should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest part of the breast. The juices should run clear, not pink.
  • For a spicier stuffing, use a hotter pepper, such as a habanero or scotch bonnet pepper. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the stuffing mix.
  • If you don't have time to make the stuffing from scratch, you can use a store-bought stuffing mix. Just be sure to add some extra spices to give it more flavor.
  • To make the chicken breasts easier to stuff, use a sharp knife to make a deep pocket in the center of each breast.
  • If you're short on time, you can skip the step of browning the chicken breasts in a skillet. Just place them in the baking dish and bake them for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through.
