Description

Craving the creamy, cheesy deliciousness of Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse’s famous stuffed chicken? This Ruth’s Chris Stuffed Chicken Copycat recipe delivers all the indulgent flavors of the restaurant original, right in your own kitchen.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried parsley
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • 2 large boneless skin-on chicken breasts
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet or use an oven-safe skillet to prepare your stuffed chicken.

2. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Then, stir in the Monterey Jack, sharp cheddar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, and paprika until well combined.

3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, cut a deep pocket into the thick side of each breast, being careful not to slice all the way through. Season the outside of the chicken with salt and pepper.

4. Spoon half of the cheese filling into each chicken pocket, pressing the edges together to seal. If needed, secure the pockets with toothpicks.

5. Heat the olive oil and butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the stuffed chicken breasts, skin-side down, in the hot pan and sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden brown.

6. Flip the chicken over and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is bubbly.

7. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Remove any toothpicks, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve the Ruth’s Chris Stuffed Chicken Copycat sizzling hot.

Notes

The key to achieving the best results with this Ruth’s Chris Stuffed Chicken Copycat is to be gentle when cutting the pockets and stuffing the chicken. Take care not to tear the meat, as this could cause the filling to leak out during cooking. Additionally, be sure to sear the chicken thoroughly before baking to ensure a crispy, golden-brown skin. Finally, keep a close eye on the baking time to prevent the chicken from drying out.
