Delicious Grilled Stuffed Chicken with Cream Sauce
This grilled stuffed chicken is a flavor-packed meal featuring juicy chicken breasts filled with a savory herb and cheese mixture. The creamy garlic sauce adds a luscious touch, making each bite truly satisfying.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, cream cheese, feta cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
- Stuff the Chicken: Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast. Fill each pocket with the spinach and cheese mixture, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Make the Cream Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Remove toothpicks from the chicken and plate. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the stuffed chicken, and garnish with fresh parsley.
