Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions optional
  • Crumbled blue cheese optional
  • Extra ranch dressing optional
  • Extra buffalo sauce optional

Equipment

  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing bowl
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Large Skillet (oven-safe preferred)
  • Meat thermometer
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  3. Slice horizontally through each chicken breast, almost all the way through, to create a pocket.
  4. Season the inside and outside of each chicken breast with salt and pepper.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo wing sauce.
  6. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  7. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and green onions (if using).
  8. Spoon the buffalo ranch filling evenly into the pocket of each chicken breast.
  9. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  10. Carefully sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  11. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (if your skillet isn't oven-safe, transfer the chicken to the baking dish).
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to be sure!
  13. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  14. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as crumbled blue cheese, extra ranch dressing, extra buffalo sauce, or chopped green onions.

Notes

Customize the spice level by using a hotter or milder buffalo wing sauce or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. To prevent filling leakage, don't overstuff the chicken, use toothpicks to secure the opening, and sear the chicken well on both sides. Assemble the stuffed chicken breasts ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time. Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, salad, rice, or quinoa.
