Pecan-Crusted Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pecan-Crusted Stuffed Chicken Breasts.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.

2. Step 2

   In a saucepan, combine water and butter, bringing it to a lively boil.

3. Step 3

   Once bubbling, stir in the chicken-flavored stuffing mix, cover the pot, and take it off the heat.

4. Step 4

   Let it rest for about five minutes, allowing the water to be absorbed.

5. Step 5

   When the time is up, fluff the stuffing with a fork to make it light and airy.

6. Step 6

   Next, gather three bowls to set up your breading station: one filled with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last with a delightful mixture of bread crumbs, chopped pecans, salt, and pepper.

7. Step 7

   This is where the magic happens! Now, take each chicken breast and fill it with a generous quarter of the stuffing and a slice of creamy provolone cheese.

8. Step 8

   Roll the chicken around the filling tightly and secure it with kitchen twine, ensuring all that deliciousness stays inside.

9. Step 9

   It’s time to coat your chicken rolls! First, roll each one in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally, press it into the crunchy bread crumb-pecan mixture until it’s fully covered.

10. Step 10

    This step adds a wonderful texture that you’ll love.

11. Step 11

    In a large skillet, heat canola oil to about a quarter-inch deep until it shimmers invitingly.

12. Step 12

    Carefully place your coated chicken rolls in the hot oil and fry them for about five minutes on each side, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.

13. Step 13

    The aroma will be irresistible! Once browned, transfer the chicken rolls to a baking dish and pop them into your preheated oven.

14. Step 14

    Bake for around 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

15. Step 15

    You’ll know they’re ready when the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer shows at least 165°F (74°C).
