Equipment

  • oven-safe skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, parsley, thyme, rosemary, oregano and minced garlic. Mix well.
  • Lay the chicken breasts on a plate or cutting board and carefully cut in from one side, creating a butterfly cut. Open each chicken breast and spread one half with the cream cheese mixture. Fold the chicken breast closed.
  • Sprinkle both sides of the stuffed chicken breast with the salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  • Heat the oil over medium high heat in an oven safe skillet. Note: if you don’t have an oven safe skillet you can transfer the chicken to a baking dish for the second half of cooking.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the stuffed chicken to the pan and sear on both sides until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Then place the pan directly in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165F.
