Ingredients

  • 6 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce divided
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Ranch Dressing divided (I used Marie's)
  • 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Crumbled blue cheese for serving

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, ½ cup buffalo sauce, ¼ cup Creamy Ranch Dressing, cheddar, and chives. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
  • Season both sides of each chicken breast with salt and pepper
  • Use a sharp knife to carefully cut a pocket lengthwise in each chicken breast.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with the filling. You may want to secure with toothpicks depending on how much filling you use.
  • Place a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add the olive oil and allow to heat until glistening.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Brush the tops of each breast with ½ of the remaining buffalo sauce. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
  • Flip the chicken breasts and brush with the remaining buffalo sauce. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
  • Flip once more, basting in the sauce if desired. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F (1-2 minutes more).
  • Remove from the heat and drizzle with the remaining ¼ cup Creamy Ranch Dressing. Sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Take care to not cut all the way through the chicken breasts when you make the pocket.
  • If the chicken breasts don't close once you've stuffed them, secure them in place with toothpicks. Just remember to remove them before serving!
  • The oil should be hot and glistening when you add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
