• Chicken breasts - boneless skinless is what I use here. By having the ribs removed from the chicken you are better able to slice through the chicken for stuffing.
• Cream cheese - I am using full-fat cream cheese but a low fat cream cheese will work as well.
• Ranch Seasoning - I use Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning, like the kind you use to make the dressing or dip, but if you have a favorite brand go ahead and use that one.

Substitutions

If you are out of cream cheese soft goat cheese would be delicious!

How to make Hasselback Chicken

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Cut several slits, ½" apart, along the top of each chicken breast and about halfway through the chicken, being careful not to cut all of the way through. (see Chef Note)
3. Fill each cut with cream cheese and season with salt, pepper and ranch seasoning.
4. Place the chicken in a 9" x 13" casserole dish and pour the buffalo-style hot sauce over the stuffed chicken breasts.
5. Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.
6. Remove chicken from the oven, top with shredded cheese and bacon bits and replace chicken back in the oven until cheese melts, approximately 5 minutes.

Making Buffalo Ranch Stuffed Chicken

Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Cut chicken

Cut several slits, ½" apart, along the top of each chicken breast and about halfway through the chicken, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Fill with cream cheese

Fill each slit with cream cheese, approximately ½ Tablespoon in each slice.

Spray pan with nonstick pan spray

Place the chicken in a 9" x 13" casserole dish that has been sprayed with nonstick pan spray and season the chicken with salt, pepper and ranch seasoning.

Add buffalo sauce

Pour the buffalo-style hot sauce over the stuffed chicken breasts.

Cover and bake

Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. Be sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.

Add cheese

Remove chicken from oven and top with shredded cheese and bacon bits. Place chicken back in the oven until cheese melts, approximately 5 minutes.

Serve

Serve with your favorite side dish. I would suggest oven-roasted asparagus, crispy, smashed brussels sprouts or twice baked potato casserole.

Chef Tip

When slicing the chicken breasts in the Hasselback style, be sure to not slice all the way through. To help prevent the knife from going all the way through, place a bamboo chopstick on either side of the raw chicken breast and slice until the knife hits the chopsticks.
