Stuffed chicken breast
Ingredients
- 1 large chicken breast (boneless and skinless)
- 2 tablespoons of cream cheese
- 1/2 cup finely chopped spinach
- 1/2 tablespoon of QBA Flavor – Herbs and Garlic
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil (optional if you're not using butter)
- Toothpicks
- Kitchen thermometer
Preparation
- Finely chop the spinach and mix it with the cream cheese and 1/2 tablespoon of QBA Flavor – Herbs and Garlic.
- I opened the breast pocket-style (like a little bag, without opening it completely).
- Fill it with the mixture and close it with toothpicks so it doesn't come out.
- Season the entire chicken breast well on the outside with an extra dose of QBA Flavor – Herbs and Garlic.
- In a hot skillet, melt the butter (or heat the oil) over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chicken breast on one side without moving it too much so that it doesn't open up.
- Turn it over carefully every 4–5 minutes, then turn the heat down to medium-low.
- Cover the pan and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F .
- Remove the toothpicks before serving… and that's it!
