Cheez It Chicken Stuffed With Cheese Recipes

BROCCOLI CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Pound chicken cutlets to 1/4-inch thickness between two pieces of plastic wrap. Sprinkle both sides of cutlets with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Mash cheese wedges with a fork in a small bowl and stir to a creamy consistency. Add broccoli and shredded Cheddar cheese and stir to combine.
• Spread broccoli filling evenly over the middle of each cutlet. Start from one end, roll cutlets up and secure edges with toothpicks.
• Combine flour and paprika in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken rolls in the mixture.
• Heat olive oil in a oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken rolls into skillet and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over and brown the other side for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place skillet into the preheated oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 14 to 16 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove toothpicks and serve.

TACO CRUSTED CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400º Fahrenheit. Prepare a broiling pan with a rack by wiping with coconut oil or other oil of preference. A baking tray with a rack may be used as well.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and the hot sauce. Set aside.
• In a second small mixing bowl, whisk together the parmesan, almond flour, and taco seasoning.
• On a cutting board, prepare the chicken breasts by cutting an incision down the center of the breast long-ways about halfway through the breast. To create a pocket within the breast for the cheese, at the base of the previous incision, flatten the knife and cut a pocket horizontally to the right towards the edge of the breast. Finally, repeat this cut to the left (Refer to the process photo as needed). Repeat this entire process with each breast.
• Next, fill the pocket of each breast evenly with about 1 ounce of colby cheese. If using a block of cheese, shave off pieces of cheese to fit in the pocket. Once each breast is filled, secure the opening of the pocket closed by inserting 2-3 toothpicks.
• One by one, dip the chicken breasts in the egg mixture. Turn to coat. Then, dip the egg coated breast in the breading mixture, turning to coat and pressing down slightly if necessary. Place coated chicken breast on the prepared baking tray. Repeat for the rest of the breasts.
• Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 23-26 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165º Fahrenheit. If a crispier breading is desired, turn the oven to the broil setting and broil the chicken for 1-3 minutes or until the coating turns golden and crispy.

CHEEZ-IT CHICKEN STUFFED WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Using the bottom of a measuring cup, crush the Cheez-its so that they may be used as breading and mix with your breadcrumbs.
• Cut your cheese into stick shapes (big enough to be put inside your chicken). Trim all excess fat off chicken and with a slim, very sharp knife carve a tunnel inside of the thickest part of each chicken breasts, by inserting the knife and turning it inside of the chicken (if you poke through the outside it's O. K. just bake that side up).
• Stuff the cheese into the chicken.
• Dip your breasts into the beaten egg and roll them into the Cheez-it breading.
• Bake them for 10 minutes then put a dollop of butter on top of each breast.
• And bake for 15 more minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way through.

BAKED CHEEZ-IT CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease an oven safe dish that the chicken will fit inches.
• Rinse your chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towel.Very important that you dry the chicken breasts before preparing them, if the chicken isn't dry the seasonings will not stick and neither will the sour cream mixture. Season on both sides with salt and pepper, to taste. In a shallow dish, combine the sour cream and buttermilk. Arrange the crushed Cheez-Its in a second shallow dish. Dip each chicken breast into the sour cream mixture, then into the Cheez-Its so that they adhere and form a crust. Place the chicken in your prepared baking dish, leaving about 1 inch between the breasts.
• Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

GIANT CHEESE-STUFFED CRACKER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until combined. Add 8 tablespoons of butter and oil and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add 1/2 cup cold water and pulse until the dough comes together.
• Dust a piece of parchment with flour. Turn the dough out onto the parchment and roll into an 1/8-inch-thick round. Use the top of a 9-inch fluted tart pan to stamp out a circle. Transfer the parchment and circle to a baking sheet. Dust another piece of parchment with flour, gather the dough scraps, roll and stamp out as before. Transfer the parchment and dough to another baking sheet.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe dish and microwave in 30 second intervals. Brush each piece of dough with butter. Use the flat end of a 12-inch skewer to poke holes all over each round. Sprinkle each with salt. Bake for 10 minutes and then brush the dough with egg white. Continue to bake until the crackers are crisp and the edges begin to turn golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool completely on the baking sheet, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the Cheddar, cream cheese, Parmesan, paprika and cayenne to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted, smooth and orange, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and let cool at room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Place one cracker onto a serving platter. Spread the cheese sauce over top of the cracker (the cheese should be about 3/4-inch-thick). Top with the second cracker and smooth the edges of the cheese with your finger or an offset spatula. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Slice and serve cold with carrot sticks and celery.
