Souffle Stuffed Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Special equipment: a 2-quart (8-cups) souffle dish
• Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 2-quart souffle dish. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, heat 1/2 stick of butter over medium-low heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheeses, the spinach, chicken, egg yolks, and bread cubes. Stir until combined (mixture will be thick).
• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites at high speed until they hold stiff peaks, about 2 minutes. Stir 1/4 of the egg whites into the chicken mixture. Using a spatula, fold in the remaining egg whites. Spoon the batter into the prepared dish and bake until the souffle is puffed and the top is firm and golden, about 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Using a serrated knife, cut the frozen spinach souffle crosswise into 4 equal pieces.
• Top half of each whole breast with one of the pieces of souffle.
• Fold half of the chicken over the filling and fasten edges with wooden picks.
• Heat the oil in large skillet over medium heat.
• Add garlic and cook for 3 minutes or until golden.
• Add chicken breasts and cook for 7 minutes per side or until well browned.
• Remove chicken to an oven-proof dish. Bake for 30 minutes or until a thermometer registers 170 degrees F when inserted into the thickest portion.
• While the chicken is baking, add broth, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper to the large skillet.
• Heat to boiling then reduce to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the sauce is reduced to 1/2.
• To serve, remove and discard wooden picks. Arrange chicken on a warm serving platter and spoon sauce over the chicken. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices.
