Chicken breast stuffed with cheese and herbs

30 minutes
Chicken breast stuffed with cheese and herbs is a dish that embodies a harmony of flavors. Tender chicken hides inside a stretchy aromatic cheese infused with the freshness of parsley and dill, while garlic adds a spicy note. This dish likely originates from European cuisine, where the combination of simple ingredients with rich flavors is appreciated. Thanks to the breading and khmeli-suneli spice mix, the breast gets an appetizing golden crust, while sesame adds texture. Baking or frying makes the meat juicy while preserving its natural tenderness. This versatile dish is perfect for both festive dinners and everyday menus. It pairs well with light salads, vegetables, and medium-bodied wine, creating a complete gastronomic composition.
1
Prepare the filling: grate the cheese, chop the herbs, crush the garlic, season with salt and pepper, add favorite spices, and mix. The herbs will prevent the melting cheese from leaking, while the cheese will keep the chicken from becoming too dry.

- Ground black pepper: to taste
- Salt: to taste
- Khmeli-suneli: to taste
2
Make a cut along and deep into the chicken breast with the sharpest knife. It's better not to cut all the way through, so the filling won't escape from the other side. Use your fingers to stretch the resulting pocket and place as much filling as possible inside.
