Chicken stuffed with herby mascarpone
- Replies 2
Chicken stuffed with herby mascarpone is a classic Italian dish. It is traditionally made with chicken breasts, but you can use any cut of chicken. The chicken is stuffed with a mixture of mascarpone, herbs, and breadcrumbs and then baked.
Mascarpone cheese works well in this dish because it is a very creamy cheese that helps to bind the stuffing together. The sweetness of the mascarpone also helps to offset the flavour of the oregano.
Ingredients:
-2 chicken breasts (skinless, boneless)
-1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
-1/4 cup breadcrumbs
-1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
-1/4 teaspoon dried basil
-1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
-1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
-Salt and pepper
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius
2. In a bowl, mix together mascarpone cheese, breadcrumbs, thyme, basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Stuff the mixture into the chicken breasts.
4. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through.
5. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
And voila! Your chicken stuffed with herby mascarpone dish is complete. To make this dish extra special, you could try serving it with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
