Today on The Stay At Home Chef
I'm showing you how to make Stuffed Herb Chicken Breasts.
This recipe came about because I was having people over for dinner and I completely forgot,
so at the last minute I was scrambling looking in my fridge to seeing what I could throw together,
and the result was spectacular.
I must just work well under pressure because it's really good,
and now I'm going to show you how to make it.
We're gonna start with our chicken.
Lay out a piece of parchment paper and then put your 4 chicken breasts right on there,
and then top it with another piece of parchment paper, or you can use wax paper or plastic wrap,
then just take a rolling pin or a meat tenderizer or whatever,
I like to use my rolling pin.
and wack them out until they're nice and thin.
all right let's take a look at that.
Nice and thin.
Next lightly grease a 9x13 pan,
and we're gonna stuff our chicken breasts,
put a little mozzarella cheese right into the center of each chicken breast.
I like to have cheese on top and bottom.
Helps it kind of stick together a little more.
I'm gonna put a little more cheese on there.
And then take some sliced mushrooms,
these are actually giant mushrooms, so I'm going to break them in half a little bit here.
Pile them up in the middle.
I err on the side of overstuffing because if some falls out it's really not a big deal.
so stuff them nice and good,
and then top them off with a little more of that shredded mozzarella cheese.
This next part is the trickiest part because we need to now seal these up,
and you will need a bunch of toothpicks.
Just fold the chicken breast over, wrap everything right in the middle there,
and then seal it closed with a bunch of toothpicks.
That's really it.
The toothpicks will hold it together, and it'll all just cook together in our oven.
Make sure you get the ends.
There you go.
Take your sealed up chicken breast and put it in the prepared pan,
and then keep on going and finish them all.
Once you have each piece of chicken stuffed you'll need this special spice blend.
There's 1 teaspoon of salt,
1/2 teaspoon each of basil, oregano, paprika, caraway, and fennel seeds,
and then 1/4 teaspoon each of onion powder and white pepper,
just mix those spices all together and then sprinkle them right over the chicken.
You want to make sure you season each chicken breast generously.
The caraway and fennel seeds in this mixture are what really make the chicken special.
Then if you had any mushrooms that came out just toss them in or toss in some extra mushrooms,
and then place 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each piece of chicken.
This will melt as it cooks.
Next bake it in a 400 degree oven for 30 - 40 minutes.
All right.
Look at that.
Just make sure you take the toothpicks out before you serve it.
