Stuffed Chicken Breast can be made in many different ways. My favorite so far is stuffing it with callaloo and cheddar cheese. However, I didn’t have any callaloo at hand so I did spinach and add some Jerk sauce to it which was a game-changer. I used a mild Jerk sauce so the chicken wasn’t spicy but had the flavors of the Jerk sauce. If you like to add more spice just add more Jerk sauce to it or buy the spicy jerk sauce instead of the mild.
I do make my own Jerk sauce and BBQ sauce, I just prefer my own because it tastes better. Yikes! Hope I didn’t offend anyone. But I will definitely post my own Jerk and BBQ sauce for you guys to try.
I think as it regards to stuffings you could add whatever you like. I would have added some mushrooms too but I was saving my shitakes for a stir-fry. You could use a blend of parmesan, gorgonzola, and mozzarella. I tried those with meatballs and I gotta say it was fantastic.
You also don’t have to use a skillet you could go straight to the oven but then again you wouldn’t get those burst of flavors. I would pair this with some coconut cream sweet potatoes. Yes! SO GOOD! Rice, some cauliflower mash, or mash potatoes.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I am happy to help.
