Answer 1

There are loads of ways to stuff chicken breasts. I like to stuff mine with wild rice or with a combination of onions and peppers. You can also do an Italian style by stuffing it with tomatoes, rosemary, thyme, some olive oil, mozzerella cheese and then covering them with a little bit of marinara sauce. Broccoli and cheese is another great way to stuff a chicken breast. Enjoy!

Answer 3

okay here's Chicken roulade ;place a boneless ch breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to even out and thin the meat.Make "stuffing" of stovetop (you won't need much) and mushrooms sauteed with onion-combine but use more mushrooms than stovetop. spoon this stuffing onto center of breast(don't overdo this!)and gentle roll breast like a jelly roll or burritto.place two or three toothpicks thru edges where breast meets to hold together.Bake at 350 for 25 mins in shallow casserole.While ch cooks,in pan bring a small jar of Apricot-pineapple jelly to a simmer and add half a can of ch broth-let simmer 15 mins to reduce.Spoon this sauce over ch breast and finish cooking additional 10 mins.When done let rest on platter 10 mins before removing toothpicks and slice in thick "rings". Delicious and makes a nice presentation-I serve over a spoonful of yellow saffron rice !

Answer 7

Chicken Breast stuffed with Feta Cheese, Sundried Tomato, and Red Bell Pepper
A stuffed chicken breast where the sweetness of the sundried tomatoes harmonizes with the saltiness of the Feta cheese.
4 servings 55 min 20 min prep

4 chicken breasts, pounded thin
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
5 large sun-dried tomatoes, diced
1 teaspoon thyme
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled finely
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (I use Italian style)
olive oil
salt
pepper
toothpicks (or Butcher String)
green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Saute garlic and red bell pepper, in Olive Oil, for about 3 minutes (just enough to"combine" the flavors).
Put aside to cool.
In a bowl, combine Feta Cheese, Breadcrumbs, thyme, Sundried Tomatoes, and Garlic and Red Pepper mixture.
Toss until well mixed (This will be your"stuffing").
Lay a flattened piece of Chicken Breast on a cutting board or your counter.
Put a 1/4 of the above mixture on the flattened Chicken Breast like you would be making a Burrito, and roll as tight as you can get it.
Secure it with a toothpick or butcher string.
Place Chicken Breast"roll" on a baking sheet (I spray it with Pam so it does'nt stick), brush with olive oil (this gives it a nice golden brown texture), and season with Salt and Pepper.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook for about 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees.
I guess you could try it on a grill, but I never attempted it yet!
Garnish with choopped Green Onion and serve hot.

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cubed Velveeta for a smoother sauce)
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (not a typo, another 1/2 cup)
salt and pepper
garlic powder

Make cheese sauce: Melt butter in a small sauce pan, and then add flour and stir well.
