Today, we’ll be shining the spotlight on a versatile and flavorful protein—chicken. This meat is a staple because it’s always bursting with possibilities.
If you keep a pack of chicken breast in your refrigerator or freezer, you’re never far from a tasty dinner.
A TikTok user named Diana (@dianabishara01) is breaking down the steps for her recipe for chicken stuffed with cream cheese and herbs. It transforms chicken breast from its status of boring to brilliant!
The dish is one that you will turn to time and time again when you’re in need of a great weeknight meal fast.
Start by mincing a clove of garlic and dicing up some green onion, jalapeño, and parsley. In a bowl, mix a block of softened cream cheese with the garlic and herbs. Squeeze in the juice from a lemon and add your favorite spices.
Next, butterfly your chicken breasts by using a sharp knife to cut them horizontally so that they can open up like a book.
This technique gives you thinner pieces of chicken that cook more quickly and evenly. It also allows you to easily stuff the chicken breasts with delicious fillings.
When butterflying the chicken, make sure to insert the knife into the middle of the thickest part. Slice it almost to the other side, but do not cut all the way through. Afterward, season the meat with your favorite spices once again.
Then, stuff the chicken breasts with your cream cheese mixture. Once they’re packed with the cream cheese filling, close them up and place them in a pan with hot oil. While the chicken is cooking, add more lemon juice.
