Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil and set aside.
Use a sharp knife to slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket for the stuffing. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the stuffing comes together.
Carefully spoon the stuffing mixture into the pocket of each chicken breast. Use toothpicks to secure the edges if necessary to keep the stuffing in place.
Season the outside of the chicken breasts with a little more salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking dish.
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish to help keep the chicken moist during baking.
Bake the stuffed chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Discard the toothpicks if used.
Serve the stuffed chicken breasts with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
