Irresistible Ruth’s Chris Stuffed Chicken Copycat Recipe Delights

Recreate the tender, juicy stuffed chicken from Ruth’s Chris Steak House right in your kitchen. This recipe combines creamy cheeses, savory herbs, and garlic for a gourmet delight that will impress your family and friends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or Italian blend)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs (basil and oregano)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of fresh spinach (chopped), 4 ounces of cream cheese (softened), 1 cup of shredded cheese, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of Italian herbs. Mix everything until well combined.
  3. Take your chicken breasts and place them on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to create a pocket in each breast by slicing into the side, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Generously fill each chicken pocket with the prepared stuffing mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the opening if needed, ensuring the stuffing stays inside during cooking.
  5. Season the outside of the stuffed chicken with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs you like.
  6. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
  8. Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes!
