Christmas Stuffed Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for 2023

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Stuffing: In a large bowl, mix the chopped spinach, cream cheese, ricotta cheese, cooked quinoa, dried cranberries, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Prepare the Chicken: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being cautious not to cut all the way through.
  4. Stuff the Chicken: Generously fill each chicken breast pocket with the stuffing mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the openings if necessary.
  5. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each stuffed chicken breast.
  7. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  8. Allow the chicken to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to retain the juices.
  9. Before serving, sprinkle fresh parsley over the stuffed chicken for a festive touch.
