The most traditional way to stuff chicken breast is to cut a two to three-inch length-wise slit into the thickest part of the breast to create a side pocket that will hug the stuffing mixture. Using toothpicks to seal the pocket helps to keep the filling in, but it’s not a must if you don’t have any on hand. This classic method works great for grilled or pan-seared chicken breasts. Alternatively, hasselback each chicken breast by cutting slits one inch apart on the top of the chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Then stuff your preferred mixture into the created pockets with a spoon. This trendy method will require the stuffed chicken breasts to be baked in a 400 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
