Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.5 cup Pitted green olives
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and dice the potatoes into small, even-sized cubes. Boil them in salted water for about 12-15 minutes, or until tender.
While the potatoes cook, finely chop the garlic and olives, and set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Mash thoroughly until smooth.
Add the chopped olives, cream cheese, half the garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to create the stuffing.
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff each chicken breast with the potato mixture, securing the opening with a toothpick if necessary.
Season the outside of the chicken breasts with paprika, oregano, remaining garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Pour the chicken stock into the skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Optionally, drizzle with the pan juices for extra flavor.
