Chicken Breast Recipes

Let me just ask, who doesn’t like a stuffed chicken breast recipe?  No one, right?  Well I certainly don’t I think stuffed chicken breast recipe are wonderful because it helps keep the chicken moist well cooking and you get an incredibly well flavored chicken breast. 

Stuffed Chicken Filo
4 boneless skinless chicken breast
½ summer squash, minced
4 mushrooms, minced
½ c broccoli, minced
½ carrot, minced
½ onion, minced
1 Tbsp basil, chopped
¼ c parsley, minced (you will want to use fresh for better flavor)
½ tsp garlic, minced
16 sheets filo
8 oz cream cheese
1 egg, beaten with 1 Tbsp water
1 c butter, melted

Between plastic wrap pound the chicken until it is as thin as you can get it.

Then in a skillet combine together the squash, mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, onion, basil, parsley and garlic.  Sauté with a little oil until tender.  Remove from heat and add the cream cheese, mixing until well blended.

On a clean surface lay one sheet of filo out flat and brush with butter.  Then place another sheet on top and brush with butter do this until you have used four sheets and start again.  Do this with all 16 sheets.

Filo is very fragile and can dry out easily so if you step away for even a minute make sure to cover it with something otherwise you may find it starting to crumble when you get back.

On the top of each filo stack, place one of the thin chicken breast.  Put about 3 tablespoons of the veggie stuffing in the center of each breast.  Then wrap the breast in the filo and place on a baking sheet.  Do this for the remaining 3 stacks of filo and breasts.

Brush the top of each filo-chicken wrap with the egg/water and then with some butter.

Bake in preheated oven at 350 for 35 minutes.
