This recipe is good for those on a budget. It looks pretty on the plate, and is tasty too. I prefer things with a little spice, so I usually add a couple of dashes of cajun seasoning in addition to the paprika. Ingredients:
1 cup instant seasoned stuffing mix (chicken flavor) |
1/2 cup water |
1 teaspoon butter |
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts |
nonstick cooking spray |
olive oil |
salt and pepper |
paprika |
Directions:
1. Preaheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine first three ingredients in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for 3-4 minutes (or follow instructions on stuffing package to make 2 servings).
3. Meanwhile, pound chicken breasts until about 1/4 thick.
4. (Hint: I usually put the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap to keep the mess to a minimum.) Lightly spray baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
5. Place half of the cooked stuffing into the center of each breast.
6. Fold chicken around stuffing and place seam-side down into baking dish.
7. Brush each breast lighly with olive oil.
8. Sprinkle each breast with salt, pepper, and paprika.
9. Bake for 20-30 minutes (until chicken is cooked and begins to brown slightly).
