Easy Stuffed Chicken Breast

Servings 2 people

Ingredients

  • 1 large chicken breast
  • 4 cups stale bread cut into pieces
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 TBS herbes de Provence
  • 1 pint chicken stock
  • 2 TBS butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Cut a deep pocket in the chicken breast. Salt the chicken on the inside.
  • Add the bread to a large bowl. I used a mix of challah and Italian bread ends.
  • Add the eggs and 1 TBS of the herbs de Provence. Mix well to make the stuffing.
  • Stuff the stuffing in the chicken breast pocket. Keep pushing, it will fit. It won’t close.
  • Place the chicken breast open side down in a baking dish. Sprinkle the top with salt and 1/2 tablespoon of the herbes de Provence. Cover
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes and remove the cover.
  • Bake for 10 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Make the Gravy

  • While the chicken is cooking make the gravy.
  • Add the flour to the butter and mix well.
  • Bring the stock to a boil and lower to a simmer.
  • Add the flour mixture a little at a time until the gravy starts to thicken. You might not use all of the flour mixture.
  • Add the milk, bring back to a simmer.
  • Add the remaining herbes de Provence and season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve with the chicken.
  • After you remove the chicken from the oven let it sit for 5 minutes before you cut it.
