A pocket cut into each breast holds the filling for this copycat Ruth's Chris stuffed chicken: cream cheese, cheddar, ranch, and Worcestershire. A homemade ranch mix is on the card too, so the store packet is optional.

Ingredients
- 4 medium boneless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ounce dry Ranch seasoning mix ⅓ of the DIY mix listed below
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
DIY Ranch Seasoning Mix
- 2 ounces buttermilk powder
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon dried chives
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Mix the cream cheese, shredded cheese, seasoning mix, and Worcestershire sauce together in a medium mixing bowl.
- Divide the mixture into quarters. Roll each portion into a log between the palms of your hands. Aim for a log with tapered ends.
- Open a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing lengthwise with a sharp knife, cut as deep as you can without separating the meat completely. Cut along the rounded edge.
- Open and stuff one cream cheese log into each of the pockets. Use optional toothpicks to hold the breast meat in place.
- Combine the salt, pepper, and paprika in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the tops of the chicken breasts.
- Arrange the stuffed chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- Cook for 30-35 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Notes
I turned the chicken breasts upside down, putting the skin side down on the cutting board, before cutting the pocket open. This helps cut more precisely in two equal halves.
