Roasted Stuffed Chicken Breast with Cheddar and Vegetable Stuffing

Ingredients:

For the Stuffing:

  • 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup roasted carrots (diced)
  • 1/2 cup roasted broccoli (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup roasted tomatoes (diced)
  • 1/4 cup caramelized onions
  • 1/4 cup roasted asparagus (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika

For the Cabernet Sauce:

  • 1 cup red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon recommended)
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp flour (optional, for thickening)

For the Sides:

  • Yukon Gold potatoes (boiled or roasted)
  • Sweet potatoes (boiled or roasted)
  • Tricolor baby carrots (steamed or roasted)
  • Fresh basil (for garnish)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Stuffing

  1. Roast the carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, and asparagus until tender.
  2. Combine the roasted vegetables, caramelized onions, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and breadcrumbs in a bowl. Mix well to form a stuffing. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 2: Stuff the Chicken

  1. Butterfly each chicken breast (slice horizontally, but not all the way through, to create a pocket).
  2. Stuff each chicken breast with 2-3 tablespoons of the vegetable and cheese mixture. Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine if necessary.

Step 3: Season and Sear

  1. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).

Step 4: Bake

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 5: Prepare the Cabernet Sauce

  1. In a saucepan, simmer the red wine and chicken stock over medium heat until reduced by half.
  2. Whisk in the butter for a glossy finish. (Optional: Add flour for a thicker sauce.)
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6: Assemble and Serve

  1. Slice the chicken breast into medallions on a bias for presentation.
  2. Plate with Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes, tricolor carrots, and a drizzle of the Cabernet sauce.
  3. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.

Chef’s Tips:

  • Use odd numbers of medallions for better visual appeal (e.g., 3 or 5 slices).
  • The stuffing can be customized with seasonal vegetables or herbs for added flavor.
  • If you prefer, substitute the Cabernet sauce with a traditional gravy or tomato-based sauce.
