    🔪 Instructions

    For the cheese filling

    1. Combine the blue cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, and ground black pepper in a small bowl.
    2. Cut a horizontal slit through thickest portion of each chicken breast half to form a pocket. Stuff the blue cheese mixture evenly into the chicken.

    For the breading

    1. Place the flour in a shallow dish. Combine the milk and egg in another shallow dish, stirring well with a whisk. Place the panko in a shallow dish.
    2. Working with 1 chicken breast half at a time, dredge chicken in flour, then dip in egg mixture; dredge in panko. Repeat procedure with remaining chicken, flour, egg mixture, and panko.

    To cook the chicken

    1. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter to pan; swirl until butter melts and is beginning to bubble.
    2. Arrange the breaded chicken in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes, or until browned. Turn the chicken over and transfer the skillet in to the oven. Bake 20 minutes, or until done.

    For the sauce

    1. For the sauce, combine the remaining butter, bell peppers, water, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the butter melts.
    2. Remove from the heat, and stir in the hot sauce. Transfer the buffalo sauce to a blender and blend on high for 1 minute, until sauce is smooth. Serve the sauce over top of the chicken.

    🙋 Recipe FAQ's

    Is it safe to stuff chicken breasts ahead of time?

    According to the USDA, you can pre-stuff raw chicken breasts and keep them refrigerated safely up to 24 hours.

    How do I keep the stuffing from coming out of the chicken?

    Poking toothpicks or dry pieces of spaghetti (use spaghetti only if you are not keto) through the opening of the chicken will help to seal everything together.

    How do I know my cheese stuffed chicken breast has finished cooking?

    Check the temperature of the chicken by inserting an instant read thermometer in the thickest part of the breast and if it registers at 165 degrees, then the chicken is cooked.

    💭 Tips

    • Slice the chicken breast with a sharp knife creating a slit in the thickest part of the chicken for the stuffing.
    • When buying boneless skinless chicken breast at the grocery store, be sure to look for plump breasts with a pinkish color.

    📖 Variations

    • Substitute half and half for heavy cream to reduce the fat (if needed).
    • Change it up with a mozzarella cream cheese mixture or a broccoli cheese filling.
    • Try panko or a simple flour and parmesan cheese coating.
    Buffalo sauce in the blender.
