My law firm had its annual holiday party on Friday evening, so I didn’t participate in the assigned ffwD chard-stuffed pork roast. However, the idea of a “stuffed” dish resonated in my mind, especially when I went to the grocery store Saturday afternoon and saw two women literally fight over the last two stuffed chicken breasts in the meat department’s prepared food display. I looked at these two ridiculous women, rolled my eyes, and felt embarrassed for them considering that the stuffed chicken breasts they were fighting over seemed pretty easy to prepare.
The chicken breasts in the grocery store were split in half and only “stuffed” with asparagus stalks and shredded cheddar cheese. I thought, “I could make better ones.” So, I made two variations with my two chicken breasts. One had roasted red peppers, asparagus stalks and mozzarella cheese. The other had blue cheese. Both breasts were wrapped in string and baked for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Both breasts turned out very tender and juicy, but I was surprised to find that I really enjoyed the chicken breast with the blue cheese, roasted pepper and asparagus more than the one with mozzarella. However, I highly recommend trying both combinations shown in this post and playing around with different stuffings. I know I will!

Lovely melted cheesy bits… I think my fav would be the blue cheese as well. Too funny that they were fighting over the last two stuffed breasts.. I think you could start a catering firm:)

These look great!!
I’ve seen people fight over strange things at the grocery store.
Dec 12, 2011 @ 08:59:04
I don’t even eat chicken and seriously, my stomach is growling just looking at this. Fantastic idea and as Rachel Ray always says…this is a method! You can make a bunch of different variations, all of which are sure to be excellent.
Happy Monday!

looks wonderful and crazy for fighting i would take yours anyday
Dec 12, 2011 @ 10:20:40
I can just see you doing that. These look awesome.
Dec 12, 2011 @ 11:43:11
Bluuuue cheeeeeese. MMMMMMM. That’s a great idea. I never thoguht of stuffing chicken with blue cheese and veg. I’m so stealing this idea.
Dec 12, 2011 @ 12:19:29
I love the melting cheese in both of these!! I’m a gorgonzola lover with mozzerello right up there as a favorite, so I guess I’d try both! I like how you got inspiration from these prepared dishes; I do that all the time…thinking I could so do that myself…and better!!
Dec 12, 2011 @ 12:26:04
It also looks very festive and I think it would make a great holiday meal.
Dec 12, 2011 @ 12:38:58
this goes straight to the top of my to do list! i love its flavorful, rich, hearty and yet baked!
Dec 12, 2011 @ 12:52:59
L O V E it already.
Dec 12, 2011 @ 13:09:56
They both delectable! I am so hungry and I would love both of them I am sure! Although the blue cheese variety does sound a bit different and soooooo extra fabulous!
Dec 12, 2011 @ 13:34:26
I’m sure yours look and taste10x better than those at the grocery store. Just look at all of that melted cheese…mmm!
Dec 12, 2011 @ 14:32:57
Beautiful chicken dish, like the idea of stuffing it with veggies and cheese. So so tasty.
Hope you have a wonderful week and thanks for this delicious dish 🙂
Dec 12, 2011 @ 16:17:03
The stuffing is almost bigger than the chicken – thats awesome. If only those ladies spent the same energy into thinking how they could do it themselves…
Dec 12, 2011 @ 18:46:16
Oh, these look incredible! That oozing cheese is enough to send me through the computer screen into your kitchen…LOL…seriously, they are beautiful!
Dec 12, 2011 @ 19:23:49
I love how colorful these are! what a great combination of flavors!
Dec 12, 2011 @ 19:27:53
Your chicken breasts look fabulous. How funny – two women fighting over 2 chicken breasts. It sounds like a scene out of Christmas at the Kranks when there’s that fight over the honey ham.
Dec 12, 2011 @ 21:55:15
Oh yes – this makes me hungry

Dec 12, 2011 @ 21:58:23
Wow, they look great! I love asparagus and red peppers so that’s right up my alley!
Dec 12, 2011 @ 22:19:57
I hope they saw you roll your eyes! Silly women!! Now these stuffed chicken breasts, on the other hand, may be worth fighting over. 😉 They look incredible– ooey gooey deliciousness! I want one now!
Dec 12, 2011 @ 23:11:28
Wow, your Baked Stuffed Chicken Breasts looks absolutely amazing. I wish I had this for dinner. Great post
Dec 12, 2011 @ 23:27:51
Im still drooling over your fantastic cake pops! But these stuffed chicken breasts look DIVINE! Im excited to put these on my ‘make soon’ list!
Dec 13, 2011 @ 00:48:34
Those look beautiful and tasty! I think these would be fun to make!
Dec 13, 2011 @ 03:29:20
That looks its ooey-gooey best. Good work there.
Dec 13, 2011 @ 03:57:33
haha…the women fighting must have been pretty entertaining to watch! These look delicious (definitely worth fighting over!) and they sound a lot better than the grocery store ones!
Dec 13, 2011 @ 04:30:00
looks like a delicious mouthful 🙂
Dec 13, 2011 @ 05:03:16
Why do people have to be so crazy?! Had they just waited for yours (which look superfab and, dare I say, healthy) they would have had the best! You simply must make these for me one day. This looks like one of those dishes that I could eat every day and lose at least a pound or 2! Now, that’s something worth fightn’ over! LOL!!
Dec 13, 2011 @ 06:27:13
These look so lovely and delicious! Yum…blue cheese! Good thing those women didn’t have any pepper spray!
Dec 13, 2011 @ 08:09:43
the food is so appealing.
Dec 13, 2011 @ 08:14:23
Oh my word! I am starving now and off to the grocery store today because this will be my dinner! Yum!!! xo
Dec 13, 2011 @ 11:48:31
These look SO good! I prefer the version with mozzarella, but I would definitely make both as I have friends who just love blue cheese. Thank you so much for sharing this delicious recipe!
Dec 13, 2011 @ 11:59:40
Your photo sells this chicken. It is beautiful.
Dec 13, 2011 @ 13:00:53
This is perfect for picky teens. I think I’ll let my kids decide on their own individual filling. What a great idea!
Dec 13, 2011 @ 14:22:30
Oh goodness this looks heavenly!! i’m coming over save me a plate!!
Dec 13, 2011 @ 14:24:29
Ha! I used to be one of those women! You have to remember, not everybody can cook 🙂 We all hang out with our cooking blog friends and sometimes I think its easy to forget that just 5 years ago, my big cooking event was cereal!
Your stuff chicken looks amazing! I love the blue cheese one!
Dec 13, 2011 @ 16:08:41
Those look great! So juicy, cheesy and colorful 🙂
Dec 13, 2011 @ 16:45:05
Homemade is always better than store prepared and costs less. Both sound great but I think I would go for the blue cheese first.
Dec 13, 2011 @ 17:27:09
looks delicious minus the roasted red peppers, blech ;). I bet they tasted 100 times better than the ones that the grocery store.
Dec 13, 2011 @ 18:07:34
mmm… both variations sound delightful. I love blue cheese so I think I would tend towards that one.
Dec 13, 2011 @ 18:25:02
These look so colorful and festive. The bleu cheese combo sounds very good.
Dec 13, 2011 @ 18:54:25
Holy smokes, this looks awesome. I have all of these ingredients in the fridge right now, I know what’s for dinner tomorrow night! I love that its Christmas colored too.
Dec 13, 2011 @ 19:45:09
Oooooh, these look so good! I agree, a lot of times it is yummier and better to make something yourself, and you can save some money! These fillings look fantastic! 🙂
Dec 13, 2011 @ 20:29:09
Let em fight, you do better work…..and you’re taste and look better nice post andi
Dec 13, 2011 @ 20:32:33

These look delicious! I think I would love both versions!
Dec 14, 2011 @ 00:17:09
As I was reading – I thought, “OH, the one with the blue cheese”. I love when it melts how mild it gets and I bet it added a delightful saltiness! It looks like you did make these better than the store!
Dec 14, 2011 @ 01:44:54
mmmm…these really look yummy! i’m drooling over them!
Dec 14, 2011 @ 04:47:22
Oh my word! these look delicious! Love the cheese oozing out ..

These look so gourmet. I’ve always wanted to make these. I like the melted cheese on top! Mmm!
Dec 14, 2011 @ 18:31:00
Mmmmmmm, look at that cheesy goodness!
Dec 14, 2011 @ 19:07:42
Wow, I love this dish! I am going to make this for my husband.
Dec 15, 2011 @ 02:04:07
These look pretty good to me – aspragus is one of my favourite veges. Hope you had a good time at the party.
Dec 15, 2011 @ 05:07:40
Yuuuuuumy…..cheeeeeeesy chicken breast ………they are simply irresistible!
Dec 15, 2011 @ 08:58:11
I’ve never found a piece of chicken more attractive – growl!
Dec 18, 2011 @ 11:26:52
These are wonderful! When I was first teaching myself to cook I thought that anything ‘stuffed’ was fancy and worth making. Something very close to this was one of the first things I learned and I made it until everyone was sick of it. I then forced myself to learn something else. Since its been about 30 years I think I need to make this again an freak everyone in my life out a bit. Yum!!
