Stuffed Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet.

2

Make the Filling

In a bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped fresh basil, mixed cheeses, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

3

Stuff the Chicken

Lay the pounded chicken breasts flat and spoon the cheese mixture onto one side of each breast. Fold the other side over to create a pocket. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.

4

Cook the Chicken

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

5

Cook the Spaghetti

While the chicken is baking, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

6

Prepare the Sauces

In a small saucepan, heat the alfredo sauce and marinara sauce separately until warm.

7

Serve

To serve, place a portion of spaghetti on each plate, topped with half of the alfredo sauce and half of the marinara sauce. Slice the stuffed chicken and place it on top.
