Ruth’s Chris Stuffed Chicken


Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts: The star of the dish! Ensure they’re fresh for the juiciest results.
Stuffing Ingredients
1 cup of spinach: Fresh or frozen — both work! Just make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture.
1 cup of shredded cheese: Go for a blend of mozzarella and cream cheese for that rich, velvety texture.
½ cup of diced ham or chicken ham (without problem ingredients): This adds a savory, hearty element.
½ cup of chopped bacon or turkey bacon (without problem ingredients): For a satisfying crunch and depth of flavor.
1 clove of garlic: Minced, of course, to really pack a punch.
Salt and pepper to taste (if tolerated)
Olive oil: For cooking and adding moisture.


Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the chicken:
Butterfly the chicken- Carefully slice the chicken breasts horizontally, without cutting all the way through. This technique creates a pocket for your delicious filling.
Tenderize- Lightly pound the chicken using a meat mallet for even thickness. This not only helps the chicken cook evenly but also makes it juicier.

3. Make the delicious filling:
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese until it’s smooth. Stir in the crumbled turkey bacon and diced chicken ham. Add the chopped spinach and season with garlic, salt, and pepper.

4. Stuff the chicken:
Take a spoonful of the mixture and gently fill each pocket in the chicken breasts. The goal is to avoid overstuffing which can lead to bursting during cooking. Once stuffed, secure each chicken breast with toothpicks or kitchen twine to keep the filling intact.

5. Sear the chicken to perfection:
In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the stuffed chicken breasts in the pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step locks in moisture and flavor, creating that irresistible crispiness on the outside.

6. Bake and infuse flavors:
After searing, it’s time to pop the skillet into the preheated oven. Bake the chicken for approximately 20-25 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This ensures your Ruth’s Chris Stuffed Chicken is cooked safely while still being juicy and delicious.

Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken

This brown sugar garlic chicken is juicy, flavorful, and baked in the oven in just 25 minutes. The chicken is coated in a sweet garlic sauce that caramelizes while baking, leaving you with tender meat and a glossy glaze. From andianne.com.

Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken


Ingredients:

3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Olive oil - for brushing chicken
Salt and pepper (if tolerated)- to season the chicken

For the Sauce:
¼ cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp water
1 tsp garlic powder or use 2 cloves minced garlic for bold flavor
1 tsp dried thyme
½ tsp salt (if tolerated)
¼ tsp ground black pepper (if tolerated)


Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a rimmed baking dish with non-stick spray (or line with foil for easy cleanup). Pat 3-4 chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.

Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer. Pour the brown sugar garlic sauce evenly over the top, coating each piece.

Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F in the thickest part.

If the sauce starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil for the last few minutes.

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute for tender, juicy slices. Drizzle the pan sauce over the chicken before serving - it's thin and perfect for spooning over rice, noodles, or veggies.

40g (⅓ cup) cake flour
10g (1 tbsp) cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Directions:

Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease. Prepare a water bath by placing the cake pan into a larger baking dish filled with about 1 inch of hot water.

Blend the Base:
In a blender, combine cream cheese, butter, milk, egg yolks, vanilla extract, cake flour, and cornstarch. Blend until smooth and lump-free. Pour into a large bowl.

Whip the Egg Whites:

Cool Gradually:
Turn off the oven and let the cake sit inside with the door slightly open for 10–15 minutes to prevent collapsing. Then remove and cool completely.
