"Sanibel Stuffed Chicken" Recipe

One of my all time FAVORITE foods is the Sanibel Stuffed Chicken from Tommy Bahamas.
It really is positively amazing!
On their menu they list it as:

Chicken breast sautéed golden brown with a parmesan and Japanese breadcrumb crust, herb cheese and roasted red pepper filling. Served with fresh grilled asparagus and a roasted red pepper cream sauce. $32.50.

So, I decided to create a Healthy, Cheaper version on this recipe and it turned out nearly identical.

What you'll need:

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
  • 1/2 purple onion, diced
  • 4 ounces of diced chives
  • 3-4 ounces of chopped cilantro
  • Mozzarella cheese (Rice Shreds Mozzarella flavor cheese is the best!)
  • Bread Crumbs by EnerG (Wheat Free, Gluten Free, Egg Free, Soy free, Dairy Free... Everything free!)
  • 4 ounces of cream cheese (Follow Your Heart makes a Gluten and Diary Free cream cheese)
  • 2-4 skinless, boneless organic chicken breast halves 
  • Ranch Dressing mix packet (Simply Organics)
  • 2 1/2 cups of sour cream (Follow your heart makes a Gluten and dairy free sour cream)
  • 1/2 lime, squeezed
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 3 tbsp chopped chipotle peppers
Directions for preparing Chipotle Ran
ch & Mixture

  1. Making your fresh Simply organics ranch dressing take a medium bowl and combine the 3 tbsp of chopped chipotle peppers, 1 tsp ground cumin, lime juice with the ranch and stir until completely mixed. 
  2. Continue by adding the diced purple onion, chives and cilantro.
Direction from preparing Chicken

  1. Fill a medium bowl halfway with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and completely submerge each chicken breast. 
  2. Fill a medium/large freezer bag with the EnerG bread crumbs and shake chicken until it is fully covered with the bread crumbs.
  3. Cut pockets into chicken breasts and spread a liberal amount of the cream cheese and stuff with the chipotle ranch & Rice Shreds (cheese)

  4.  Saute chicken in skillet with olive oil for 5 to 7 minutes each side (or until the crust is crispy and brown). Remove from skillet and grill over medium high heat for 10 to 15 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. Serve with remainder of onion mixture as a sauce/topping.

I hope ya'll enjoy
