Mediterranean Style Stuffed Chicken Breast: Oven Preparation Guide
Step 1: Thawing and Prepping
The journey to bringing your succulent Mediterranean Style Stuffed Chicken Breast to life begins by thawing the product in your refrigerator. Once thawed, unpack your Oven Grillers chicken to expose its delectable stuffing of red peppers, feta, and spinach.
Step 2: Preheat Your Oven
Let’s go with the conventional method. Preheat your oven to 350 °F. As you wait, take it a notch higher by putting your thawed chicken breast into a non-stick oven-safe pan.
Step 3: Oven Baking
Next, place your pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Depending on your oven’s temperament, you may need to adjust the cooking time. Always check with a food thermometer to prevent undercooking or overcooking.
Cooking Tip: For the first half of the baking process, cover your chicken with some aluminum foil. This technique will yield a tender and juicy chicken breast, owing to the combined grill-steam method.
Step 4: Post-Cooking Rest and Serving
Once your chicken is expertly baked, allow it some minutes to sit and absorb its own juices. Now it’s ready to be enjoyed.
To achieve the perfect Mediterranean menu, serve the stuffed chicken with a side of couscous, or a Greek salad. Begin preparing these while preheating the oven, and bake them side by side with the chicken.
The final plating moment is here. Accentuate your stuffed chicken with fresh parsley leaves, sprinkle some oregano, maybe a dash of olive oil on the chicken and edge of the plate. Now you have a drool-worthy Mediterranean Style Stuffed Chicken Breast meal ready. Bon appétit!
Grilling Mediterranean Style Stuffed Chicken Breast
Step 1: Thaw and Prep
Welcome a taste of Greece to your table with the Mediterranean Style Stuffed Chicken Breast from Oven Grillers. Kick off the preparations by thawing the product in the refrigerator. Once thawed, extricate the stuffed chicken breast from its packaging.
Step 2: Prep the Grill
Bringing out the Mediterranean flair calls for the grill! Line the grilling rack with foil for easy cleanup later. Then, place the stuffed chicken breast on the foil lined rack.
Step 3: Grill Until Golden Brown
Bring your grill to a medium heat, about 350°F, then lay out the stuffed chicken onto the grill rack. Turn occasionally, allowing the chicken to cook evenly until it’s golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. An average grill will need about 25-30 minutes to hit the mark. Tread with caution when dealing with powerful grills – you might need to check the temperature a little earlier to avoid overdoing it. Gentle cookers may require a bit of patience, so leave the chicken on longer but always ensure it hits the required temperature.
Step 4: Rest and Serve
After grilling, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes. This allows the chicken to reabsorb its juices, ensuring maximum flavor!
To fully immerse yourself in the Mediterranean vibes, pair this dish with salad – think baby rocket leaves, some cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and olives for that Greek-esque touch. Easy to prepare while your grill heats up, just toss the salad ingredients together with a splash of lemon juice and olive oil.
For presentation, garnish the stuffed chicken with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle some extra feta crumbs onto the chicken and your salad for an added touch. And just like that, you’ve got yourself an exquisite Mediterranean Style Stuffed Chicken Breast meal straight from your grill to table. Enjoy!
