Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, make a deep pocket in each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Stuff each chicken breast with the shrimp mixture, using toothpicks to secure the edges if necessary.
Step 5
Season the outside of the chicken breasts with the remaining salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
