The cucumber salad:

Stuffed Chicken Breast

I know several stuffed chicken breast recipes, so the choice was difficult on which one to publish today. Usually, chicken breast is known to be a bit difficult to swallow. This is probably the reason why cooks and housewives all over the world thought to make it more supportable and actually turned it into a great dish, by inventing the stuffed chicken breast.

Stuffed Chicken Ingredients

  • 1 chicken
  • pressed cheese (depends on the chicken size)
  • leek (depends on the chicken size)
  • 4 potatoes
  • mushrooms
  • eggs
  • olive oil
  • salt, pepper

How to cook stuffed chicken breast

  1. Empty the chicken.
  2. Cut the potatoes 1 inch thick.
  3. Cut the leek small.
  4. Grate the pressed cheese.
  5. Scramble the eggs. Salt and pepper them.
  6. Mix them up with the leek and the pressed cheese.
  7. Stuff the chicken with the mixture.
  8. Sew the chicken, up to the butt, leaving a small opening.
  9. Put olive oil and water on a big tray.
  10. Place the chicken in the middle of a tray; the potatoes and the mushrooms around.
  11. Put the tray in the oven, at medium temperature for 20 min.
  12. Take it out and sprinkle it with the oily water from the tray.
  13. Repeat the operation every 10 min.
  14. Leave it in the oven until is ready (depends on the chicken size).

This tasty meal can be served as an appetizer or as the main course, if so you wish. Put some pickles aside, as they go very well together with all chicken breast recipes, not only with this particular one.
