Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4-6 | Chicken breasts |
| 4 | Milk |
| 3 | Oats |
| 1 | Butter |
| 1/4 | Ground ginger |
| 1/4 | Ginger |
| 1 | Salt |
| – | Fresh ground pepper |
Instructions:
-
For the Stuffing: In a bowl, mix together the oats, milk, ground ginger, fresh ginger, salt, and butter until well combined. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator until the mixture firms up.
-
Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Loosen the skin of the chicken breasts gently with your fingers, creating a pocket for the stuffing.
-
Stuff the Chicken: Take the chilled stuffing mixture from the refrigerator and evenly distribute it under the loosened skin of each chicken breast.
-
Roast the Chicken: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a shallow roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the breasts, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
-
Keep Warm: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter. Cover the chicken loosely with foil to keep it warm while you prepare the gravy.
-
Make the Gravy: Place the roasting pan with the pan juices on the stove over medium-high heat. Add a little chicken stock or water to the pan juices and stir to combine. Allow the liquid to reduce, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.
-
Optional: For an extra touch of flavor and richness, you can add 1 tablespoon of red currant jelly to the pan juices. Stir until the jelly melts and combines with the juices to create a deliciously flavorful gravy.
-
Serve: Slice the roasted chicken breasts and serve them with the warm gravy drizzled over the top. Pair with buttered noodles and steamed baby vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal that is sure to impress!
Enjoy your delicious roast chicken breasts with almond stuffing, perfect for any dinner party or special occasion! 🍗🥦🍽️
