Ruth's Chris Stuffed Chicken Breast Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts
- (2) 8 oz package of cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 PK dry Hidden Valley ranch seasoning
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (add it into the cheese sauce before you mix it all up)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic& onion powder to taste
- Paprika for color
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Mix cream cheese with the Worcestershire sauce, the Hidden Valley ranch seasoning & the sharp Cheddar Cheese. You probably don't need to add any salt as the seasoning is already very salty. Make sure the mixture is really homogeneous and that the ranch dressing is well mixed
Step 2: cut open the chicken breast by creating pockets. Use a sharp knife to cut an opening in the thicker side of the breast, make sure you don't go all the way down soo there is only one opening
Step 3: stuff the chicken breast with all the mixture. Make sure you push enough stuffing to the end of the open pocket you cut into the breasts. Ideally, you want to have filling in every bite????
Step 4: Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder (watch out for the filling not to escape). Then sprinkle the meat with paprika to color it & give it a little darkness. Optional: you can close the breasts with toothpicks or butcher wire (see FAQ below).
Step 5: Place the breasts into your baking pan over a sheet of baking paper. Top them up with butter You can add foil to make an easier cleaning. Cook for 30 mins at 450 degrees. If you use a thermometer the inside of the chicken should reach 165 degrees.
Recipe Tips:
- Let the cream cheese warm up out of the refrigirator a couple hours before starting, which will make it easier to mix up. Use a mixer to mix up if you didn't.
- Make sure you cut an opening in the thickest side of the chicken breast
- If you want to get the result exactly like in the restaurant use instead a bone chicken breast: it gives more juice and holds more moisture and flavor because of the bone
