Ingredients 

This recipe has two components - the chicken and the filling - so you'll need ingredients for each. The plus side is that you probably have a couple of them at home already!

Here's everything you'll need for the chicken:

• 4 Large chicken breasts, boneless skinless
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoon butter

For the filling:

• 12 oz cream cheese, softened
• ¾ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 3 tablespoon ranch seasoning
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

And for an optional garnish:

• 2 tablespoon parsley

How To  Make Ruth's Chris Stuffed Chicken

Step 1: Prep Work

First, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

Then, take out a large mixing bowl and add the cream cheese, cheddar, ranch seasoning, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce to it. Mix together using a fork until well combined and set aside.

Using a knife, cut pockets on the side of the chicken breasts. Go as deep and wide as you can without cutting holes through the other side. 

Step 2: Stuff the chicken

Now, fill the chicken breasts with the cheese filling and transfer them to a casserole dish or a baking sheet.

Season the tops of the chicken with pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and. Then top each breast with ½ tablespoon of butter and transfer it to the oven to bake.

Step 3: Bake The Chicken

Now bake the chicken for 25-35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden. Remove the chicken from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.

Garnish with parsley and serve with mashed potatoes or your choice of sides. 

Recipe Pro Tips 

• Prepare the filling the day before and store it in the fridge to make this recipe quicker to whip up.
• When you butterfly chicken breasts, lay your palm on top of it to prevent it from sliding off the cutting board.
• Do not cut completely through the other side of the chicken, or the filling will fall out.

How To Store Homemade Stuffed Chicken

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. It truly tastes better days after making it, so you might even want to double this recipe.

How To Reheat Stuffed Chicken

To reheat, cook the chicken in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes. I recommend adding a bit of chicken broth to the top of the breast to ensure it stays moist. You can also cover it with foil while cooking to keep it from drying out.
