Butterflying a Chicken Breast
Making a secure pocket for the stuffing rather than cutting the chicken all the way through is the goal of butterflying chicken breasts for stuffing.
Using a sharp knife, cut each chicken breast horizontally to form a pocket, stopping about 1/2 inch from the sides and rear of the chicken breasts to avoid cutting all the way through.
4 large chicken breasts divided 4 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 cups chopped broccoli, smaller bits 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 6 ounces melted cream cheese 1 clove garlic, minceda pinch of salt and pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a small dish, combine the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Drizzle the chicken breasts with the olive oil. Coat the chicken completely with the spice mixture.
In a mixing basin, combine the filling ingredients. Place aside.
Make a broad pocket in each chicken breast, but don’t cut all the way through.
Stuff the stuffing into each chicken breast.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Once heated, sear each side of the filled chicken breasts, but do not cook through. Depending on the size of your chicken breasts, you may need to do this in two batches. Place all four breasts in the skillet and place it in the oven.
Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are thoroughly cooked.
Choose big chicken breasts.
Make a pocket in your chicken breast by not cutting it all the way through.
If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, brown the chicken first in a skillet and then transfer to an oven-safe dish.
