Cheesy Hasselback Chicken Recipes

CHEESY HASSELBACK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• In a pan over medium heat, add the oil and heat until a drop of water flicked in it dances.
• Sauté the mushrooms and onions for roughly 5 minutes, until tender. If using spinach, saute until wilted, between 30 seconds and 1 minute.
• Allow to cool.
• Blend with the ricotta cheese and egg.
• Cut slits into the chicken breasts, about 1/2-1 inch apart and 3/4 of the way through the chicken. The depth of the cuts don't have to be exact just do not cut all the way through the chicken.
• Stuff the ricotta mixture into each of the cuts.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle the cheddar cheese generously on top.
• Generously sprinkle the paprika.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the juices run clear.
• Broil for a minute or two until cheese is nicely browned. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, nonstick skillet.

• Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Using a sharp knife, make vertical cuts, about half an inch apart, making sure not to cut all the way through the chicken.

• Stuff the spinach mixture into the cuts of the chicken breasts. Season with paprika and top with a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400°F (200°C), until the cheese has melted and the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (72°C).
• Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Cook the spinach on a medium heat in a splash of oil for 3-5 minutes until it is slightly wilted.
• Stir in the ricotta and cook for a further 30-60 seconds. Allow to cool.

• Grate the cheddar and sprinkle it generously on top.
• Shake the ground paprika over the chicken to add some colour and flavour.
