Savor the Flavor: Lemon Herb Stuffed Chicken Recipe

Today’s Dish: Lemon Herb Stuffed Chicken

Hello, wonderful people! Today, I am sharing a delightful recipe for Lemon Herb Stuffed Chicken. This dish is perfect for a cozy Sunday dinner with family or a gathering of friends. The combination of fresh herbs and zesty lemon creates a burst of flavor that will leave everyone wanting more.

I start by preparing the stuffing mixture. In a bowl, I combine 100g of breadcrumbs, 50g of chopped fresh parsley, 30g of minced garlic, 20g of chopped fresh thyme, the zest of 1 lemon, and a pinch of salt and pepper. I mix everything together until well combined, creating a fragrant and vibrant stuffing.

Next, I butterfly 4 chicken breasts and generously season them with salt and pepper. I then divide the stuffing mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, spreading it out to cover each piece. Carefully, I roll up the chicken breasts and secure them with kitchen twine to hold the stuffing inside.

In a large skillet, I heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. I sear the stuffed chicken breasts on all sides until they are golden brown and crispy, creating a beautiful crust. Then, I transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the chicken at 375°F for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Once the chicken is done baking, I remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thick, juicy pieces. The aroma of the lemon and herbs fills the kitchen, making everyone’s mouth water in anticipation of tasting this delectable dish.
