Use the "Sauté" function to brown the chicken on both sides. Then, set to "Pressure Cook" for 8-10 minutes. This method locks in moisture and ensures that the stuffing and chicken are perfectly cooked in a fraction of the time.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Brush the stuffed chicken with olive oil and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. The result: crispy, golden skin on the outside while keeping the stuffing moist and flavorful inside.
Place the stuffed chicken in the slow cooker with some broth or sauce. Cook on low for 6-7 hours. This slow cooking method guarantees a tender, juicy chicken with a rich flavor as the stuffing soaks up all the delicious juices.
To stuff the chicken breasts, they need to be butterflied. This means to cut them in half lengthwise, leaving them attached on one side, so that they will lay flat. Use a sharp knife to make a small incision in the thicker side of the breast and then cut through, being careful not to cut all the way through.
The filling ingredients, such as sun-dried tomatoes and basil, need to be finely chopped and mixed together. Try to use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. A look to our article may save you time Enhance the Flavor.
Place a spoonful of the mixture onto each chicken breast, spreading it evenly while leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the chicken breast up tightly and use toothpicks to secure the seam.
The sauce should be prepared before cooking the chicken, so it's ready to add once the chicken is browned. Sautee garlic and onion in olive oil, add white wine, cream, and chicken broth, then let it simmer for a few minutes to thicken, invest some time in our article The Charm of Italian Sautéing .
The chicken should be browned on all sides before being placed in the oven to finish cooking. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the chicken on all sides until golden brown. Then place the chicken in a baking dish and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 375°F (190°C), give our article a chance to engage you Adding Flavor and Texture to ingredients with Searing.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove the toothpicks and slice it into rounds. Put the chicken on a serving platter and spoon the white wine cream sauce over the top. Add chopped fresh basil for a finishing touch.
The timing of the chicken and the sauce needs to be coordinated. While the chicken is baking, the sauce should be simmering on the stove. This will prevent you from having to make the sauce after the chicken is ready, take a glance at our article on Top Picks for Precision Cooking.
