Pan-Fried Cheese-Stuffed Chicken Breast in Dill Sauce

This chicken breast is just as good for a weeknight dinner as it is for a special occasion! It cooks right in the skillet, and the cheese keeps the meat tender and juicy. A zesty dill sauce gives it a real charm all its own.

Cooking method

Cooking time: 40 min

Step 1:

Take two whole chicken breasts — 4 halves. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Butterfly each one, cutting in from the thicker, longer edge. Open it out flat, place it between sheets of plastic wrap, and pound both sides with a flat meat mallet.
Step 2:

Season the inside with salt, pepper, and chicken seasoning.
Step 3:

The dill sauce is very easy. Use only the fronds, not the stems — pack them into a 250 ml (1 cup) measure. Put them in a blender with the garlic, salt, the zest and juice of ½ lemon, and the vegetable oil. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth and puree-like. Adjust to taste.
Step 4:

Spread the dill sauce over the chicken and rub it in.
Step 5:

Grate the cheese on the coarse side of a box grater and pile it on one side of each fillet.
Step 6:

Fold the other half over the top and secure with toothpicks.
Step 7:

Coat in breadcrumbs. Fry in the skillet in vegetable oil over medium heat, turning, until golden brown. Then cover with a lid and keep cooking for 5–7 minutes.
Step 8:

And here's the finished cheese-stuffed chicken fillet — very tasty, tender, and soft. The dill sauce gives it that special zing.
Step 9:

I recommend serving it with fresh vegetables, but if you want a heartier dinner, add a side — spaghetti, couscous, or potatoes. Enjoy!
