Today’s Unique Recipe: Lemon Herb Stuffed Chicken

Hello foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you my recipe for Lemon Herb Stuffed Chicken. This dish is perfect for a cozy dinner at home or a special gathering with loved ones. The combination of fresh herbs and zesty lemon is sure to delight your taste buds.

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken breasts (600g)
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped (20g)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (10g)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

  • oven
  • baking dish
  • mixing bowl
  • knife
  • cutting board

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped parsley, basil, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Mix well to create the flavorful herb stuffing.

Next, carefully butterfly each chicken breast, creating a pocket in the center. Stuff each chicken breast with the herb mixture, making sure to seal the edges to keep the stuffing inside.

Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a greased baking dish and drizzle with a little extra olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown on top.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist and flavorful.

Serving:

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, yielding 4 servings. Each serving is around 200g. One serving of this Lemon Herb Stuffed Chicken is approximately 250 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken during the last few minutes of baking. This adds a rich, savory flavor that pairs perfectly with the lemon and herbs.

I hope you enjoy making and sharing this delicious Lemon Herb Stuffed Chicken with your loved ones. Feel free to get creative with the herbs and spices to make it your own. Happy cooking!
