How to Make Baked Garlic Basil And Camembert Stuffed Chicken Breasts

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing horizontally almost all the way through, creating a pocket.
  3. In a bowl, combine the crumbled Camembert, minced garlic, chopped basil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stuff the chicken breasts with the Camembert mixture.
  5. In a shallow dish, beat the eggs. In another shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Dip each stuffed chicken breast in the egg, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
  7. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  8. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
