We liked it but it was very cheesy. Chicken breast stuffed with philadelphia, tarragon and chives, topped with mozzarella and baked till bubbling.

Philadelphia Stuffed Chicken With Mozzarella Crust

| Main Dish | Low Carb | Chicken Turkey And Pork |

Ingredients

  • 2 x 175g (2 x medium) chicken breasts
  • 50 g Philadelphia
  • 50 g shredded mozzarella
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp dried chives
  • ¼ tsp dried tarragon

Instructions

Method

  • Step 1
    • Preheat a fan-assisted oven to 200°C.
  • Step 2
    • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Step 3
    • In a small bowl, mix the Philadelphia, chives and tarragon.
  • Step 4
    • Slice sideways through each chicken breast to create a large pocket.
    • Push half the Philadelphia mixture into the pocket of each chicken breast.
    • Smooth down the outer flesh of the chicken to seal the pocket.
  • Step 5
    • Place the chicken breasts on a baking tray and cook for 20 mins.
    • Remove the chicken breasts from the oven and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top.
    • Return the chicken breasts to the oven for 5 more mins until the mozzarella has melted and turned slightly brown.
    • Remove from the oven when the chicken is cooked: a meat thermometer should read 75°C, and juices should run clear.
  • Step 6
    • Serve.
