Recipes With Chicken Breast Stuffed
Chicken breast is having a moment, and that moment is Stuffed Chicken Breast. Lean chicken breast with a creamy, cheesy, and herby spinach filling tucked inside, it’s surprisingly easy to make and will instantly upgrade your night.
Boneless, skinless chicken breast is an appealing cut of meat because it’s healthy and widely approved by even picky eaters (especially if it’s Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breast or Pecan Crusted Chicken).
Three methods to cook a juicy chicken breast that is NOT DRY are brining (like in this Baked Chicken Breast), marinading (like this Chicken Marinade), and stuffing (ahem, this tasty recipe right here!).
How To Make Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breast
You can stuff boneless skinless chicken breasts with any combination of cheese, sautéed vegetables (broccoli, spinach, and tomatoes all work well), herbs, and even meat if you like.
In addition to being ultra tasty, the very idea of a cheesy filling waiting inside each piece turns it into a present on your plate (just like the ham and white cheddar cheese stuffed Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu!).
You cut a small pocket in the chicken with a sharp knife (I like to place my hand on to so I can feel where the knife is), tuck in the filling with your fingers or a small spoon, then secure it with toothpicks.

For this filling, I took loose inspiration from spanakopita and used feta cheese. Its creamy texture and salty touch were just right.
For a dairy-free stuffed chicken breast, omit the cheese and add 3 to 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast. Use olive oil instead of butter.
You can prepare stuffed chicken breasts in advance! Cook the stuffing ingredients and prepare the chicken pocket up to 1 day in advance. You also can fully stuff the chicken, then refrigerate it for up to 6 hours. Sear and bake just before serving.

Serve leftovers over pasta with red sauce, or try this spinach stuffed chicken breast with cream sauce (like in this Chicken Alfredo Bake). This stuffed chicken would also be tasty over a bed of simple Quick Garlic Pasta with Olive Oil and Parmesan, cooked brown rice, or mashed potatoes.
Chicken is considered safe to eat when an instant read meat thermometer inserted at the thickest part registers 165°F. THAT SAID, the internal temperature of chicken will rise as it rests. To keep it from becoming dry, I remove my chicken between 155 and 160 degrees F, then let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. It works perfectly.
Yes, you can cook stuffed chicken breast in the air fryer, although if you are cooking more than two, a regular oven is easier, since no more than 2 chicken breasts fit in a typical air fryer basket. If you would like to experiment with cooking this stuffed chicken in the air fryer, instead of transferring the skillet to the stove, place the breasts in an air fryer basket and air fry at 375 degrees F for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping once halfway through. See my Air Fryer Chicken Breast for more tips to air fry chicken.

Thread a toothpick down and then back up through the cut side of the chicken to pinch the opening closed. It is OK if some of the filling is peeking through. You will need about 2 toothpicks per breast. Be sure to remove the toothpicks prior to serving.
Secure your pocket with several toothpicks and make sure not to overstuff the chicken breast so it doesn’t leak. With cheesy fillings, it’s more likely some will escape as the cheese melts, so be sure to cook your chicken on a surface where this will not be an issue, such as the ovenproof skillet suggested in this recipe.

Butterfly the chicken breasts. This implies cutting the chicken breast horizontally, leaving one edge intact. Fold the chicken breast open and season the outer side with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese with grated parmesan cheese, feta cheese, chopped baby spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Mix until well combined.

You can totally make this dish in the air fryer. Air fryer stuffed chicken breast turns out evenly cooked, juicy, and with a perfect golden crust on the chicken. Also, air frying is always healthier than frying food in oil.

The beauty of this recipe is just how easy it is to customize with your favorite vegetables, cheeses, and additions. Here are some ideas:

To freeze: Place the cooled and cooked chicken in a shallow container and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Reheat covered in a pan on the stovetop or in the oven. Microwaving is also an option, though I don’t find it to be the best way to reheat stuffed chicken breasts as it dries them out.
The best way to stuff chicken breast is by butterflying it first. You may cut a pocket into the breast and stuff it that way. However, with this method, you end up with less filling in each chicken breast.
Baked Stuffed Chicken Breast
Fold open the chicken breast, cover it with cling wrap and pound it to flatten it. You can use a meat mallet to pound and flatten the chicken breast. If you don’t have one, use a rolling pin, a cast iron skillet, or any heavy and hard object you have at hand.
As this chicken is incredibly flavorful and satisfying, simple vegetables are best to pair with it. For something hearty, try baked potatoes or sweet potatoes. For some greens, we enjoy asparagus, green beans, or broccoli.
