A delicious and creamy cheese-stuffed chicken recipe that is perfect for a special dinner.
Combine the cream cheese, blue cheese, parmesan cheese, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl until smooth.
Ensure the cheeses are at room temperature for easier mixing.
Shape the cheese mixture into six equal balls and chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Chilling the cheese balls helps them hold their shape during cooking.
Flatten each chicken breast to an even thickness using a meat mallet between sheets of plastic wrap.
Flattening the chicken ensures even cooking.
Spread Dijon mustard over one side of each chicken breast.
The mustard adds flavor and helps the coating adhere.
Place a chilled cheese ball in the center of each chicken breast, fold the sides over, and secure with toothpicks.
Ensure the chicken is tightly wrapped around the filling to prevent leaks.
Dredge the stuffed chicken in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.
Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken for a crispy coating.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken on all sides.
Use clarified butter for a higher smoke point.
Transfer the chicken to an ovenproof dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes or until fully cooked.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it's cooked through.
Remove the toothpicks before serving and enjoy your delicious cheese-stuffed chicken.
Garnish with fresh herbs for an elegant presentation.
