Ruth Chris Stuffed Chicken Recipe

This Ruth Chris stuffed chicken is so tender and juicy with a creamy, cheesy, and flavorful filling. It's a delicious meal that takes well under an hour to make, and it comes out tasting like it's from the restaurant! 

My Take On Ruth Chris Stuffed Chicken

If you have ever been to the restaurant Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, odds are you've tried - or heard - of their iconic stuffed chicken. Well, this recipe is my take on that super popular stuffed chicken recipe. 

I'm not going to lie, I think it tastes pretty darn close to the restaurants! The chicken is super juicy and is filled with a ton of creamy, cheesy goodness.

For real, though, this Ruth Chris stuffed chicken recipe lets you bring the restaurant's chicken right into your kitchen! Just like this Ruth's Chris lobster mac and cheese recipe. Making it from scratch takes just well under an hour, so you'll have it on the table for dinner quicker than if you ordered it out.

Plus, the majority of the time is just waiting for the chicken to cook. So you can make this Ruth Chris creamed spinach or this Ruth Chris sweet potato casserole while the chicken is cooking for the ultimate meal! 

Ingredients

This stuffed chicken recipe uses all common ingredients to recreate the iconic flavor the one from Ruth's Chris has. 

So, if you don't have all of the ingredients in your kitchen, I definitely suggest picking them up from the store! Here's everything you'll need: 

• 2 Large Chicken Breasts (or 4 small chicken breasts)
• (2) 8 oz packages of cream cheese
• 1 Cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 Packet dry Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning
• ½ Teaspoon pepper
• 2 Teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (*add this into the cheese sauce before you mix it all up*)
• Salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder to taste
• Paprika for color
• 3 Tbsp. Butter

How To Make Ruth Chris Stuffed Chicken

Step 1: Preparing The Stuffing

Before starting anything, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205°C). Then, after you've got that heating up, prepare the stuffing that makes this recipe so darn delicious. To make it, add the cream cheese with the Worcestershire sauce to a mixing bowl. Then, add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and ranch seasoning and mix everything until thoroughly combined.

Step 2: Stuffing The Chicken Breasts

Now that the filling is prepared, it's time to stuff the chicken breasts. First, slice the chicken breasts lengthwise down the middle and cut them as evenly as possible.

Then stuff half of the filling in between each sliced chicken breast. You can put toothpicks in the chicken or tie it with a thread to secure the stuffing inside. 

Once they're stuffed, mix a little salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a small bowl and sprinkle the mixture on top of each chicken breast.

Step 3: Cooking and Serving

By now, the oven should be preheated and ready to go. So line a baking sheet with foil and place the stuffed chicken breasts on top. Then before you bake the stuffed chicken, put a slab of butter on top of each piece. This is such an underrated addition that makes it taste even better.

Now, put the chicken in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes at 400°F. The internal temperature of the cooked chicken should be 165°F, so make sure to check it with a meat thermometer towards the end of cooking. Serve warm, and enjoy!

How I Recommend Storing This Stuffed Chicken

This stuffed chicken is best enjoyed hot out of the oven, and it's so good that I typically never have any leftovers. But if you do, it will be an excellent option for lunch or dinner the next day!

The best way to store any leftovers is in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. To keep it longer, you can put the chicken in a freezer-safe container and freeze it for up to 3 months.

How I Recommend Reheating The Chicken

I've found the best way to reheat this chicken is in the oven. Just transfer the chicken breast to a baking tray, and cover it with foil. Then warm it in a preheated oven at 325°F for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken. You'll want to check the chicken every 5 minutes or so to see how it's coming along.
