How To Make Stuffed Buffalo Chicken Breasts
- Stuffing: To make the stuffing mixture, mix cheddar cheese, Laughing Cow cheese, blue cheese, celery, green onion, carrot, salt, and pepper. Lay out the cutlets and spread an equal amount of the mixture in the middle. Roll the chicken.
- Dredging Station: Put the crushed Ritz crackers in one shallow bowl. In another one, combine mayo, one tablespoon of hot sauce, and lemon juice.
- Coat: Cover the chicken in the mayo mixture and then the crumbs. Roll the chicken and place it on a greased baking sheet. Continue with the remaining chicken.
- Bake: Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray and bake for 30 minutes at 400°

What to Serve with Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Here’s a few side dish recipe ideas to go with stuffed chicken breasts:
Variations & Tips:
- Hot Sauce: I love Frank’s hot sauce, but you can use whatever you prefer. If you don’t like spicy food, this recipe probably isn’t for you, but you can always omit the hot sauce or use less for a mild stuffed chicken.
- Chicken: To save time I like to buy pre-sliced thin chicken breast cutlets. If you can’t find them pre-cut at the supermarket, you can cut boneless, skinless breasts and pound them to make them thinner.
- Mayo: Swap mayo for an egg or Greek yogurt.
- Gluten-free: Substitute Ritz crackers for gluten-free panko.
- Cheese: If you don’t have Laughing Cow, reduced-fat cream cheese will work.
- Leftovers: If you have leftover stuffed chicken, store it in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for three months.
