Stuffed chicken breast
Ingredients
Marinade
- 1 tbsp cashew paste
- 1 tbsp yoghurt
- 1 tbsp cream
- 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
- Few coriander leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Filling
- 1 cup of spinach
- ⅓ cup of mushrooms
- 1 tsp poppy seeds (optional)
- 1 tsp of vegetable oil
- 50g Fresh mozzarella
- Salt and pepper to taste
Steps
- Slice the chicken breast midway to create a pocket. Do not cut all the way.
- Mix all the ingredients for marinade and coat the chicken with it. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
- In a shallow pan, heat the oil and fry the mushrooms till they are brown.
- Add the spinach and poppy seeds and mix it in.
- Make sure to preheat the oven to 425 F before starting to stuff the chicken.
- Stuff the chicken with the filling made earlier along with the cheese.
- Insert a few toothpicks to seal the chicken so that ingredients do not come out during baking.
- Bake for 20 min with a loosely covered aluminium foil. Then continue baking it for 5 min longer without the cover. This is to avoid excessive browning of the chicken.
