Chicken breasts stuffed with a mixture of sausage, mushrooms, onion, garlic and blue cheese dressing; coated with Creole seasoning, seared and baked. These are great with sweet cornbread and your favorite style of rice! Ingredients:
1/2 pound smoked sausage, sliced thinly |
1/2 pound fresh button mushrooms |
3 tablespoons chopped green onion |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
4 tablespoons blue cheese salad dressing, divided |
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts |
1 tablespoon cajun-style seasoning |
Directions:
1. To Make Stuffing: Brown sausage in a large skillet over medium high heat; once sausage starts to brown, add mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes, then add green onion and garlic and saute for another 2 minutes. Remove stuffing mixture from heat, put in a food processor and add 1 tablespoon salad dressing. Process slowly in processor, roughly chopping.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. Cut 2 inch slits in sides of chicken breasts and stuff with as much stuffing as breast will hold. Season both sides of breasts liberally with Cajun-style seasoning and sear in a hot skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side, then place in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with leftover stuffing and remaining 3 tablespoons salad dressing.
4. Bake at 375 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
