What’s the best everything bagel seasoning to use?
Really, I haven’t found a brand that I like more than any others. If it’s everything bagel seasoning, it’s delicious!
You can also make your own everything bagel seasoning, if you’d like! Just combine poppy seeds, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and sea salt.
Whenever I make my own, I really don’t follow any strict measurements – I just toss everything together and customize it (usually with extra garlic)!
How long will these chicken breasts stay fresh?
In an airtight container in the fridge, these stuffed chicken breasts will stay fresh for up to 4 days!
To reheat, I recommend popping them back in the oven for just a few minutes, not the microwave.
How thin should I pound the chicken breasts?
Pound out the chicken breasts until they’re about 1/4″ thick. No need to grab a ruler – just use your pinky!
If the chicken is about the thickness of the size of the tip of your pinky, it’s probably good to go. The goal is to get it thin enough to roll, not to completely smash it!
Recipe Tips and Notes
- Use a full fat plain cream cheese for the richest and most delicious results.
- White or yellow cheddar cheese will both work just the same! If you want a stronger cheese flavor, just make sure to use extra sharp (white or yellow) cheddar cheese.
- Along with the truffle oil, you can also add a pinch of truffle salt to the chicken breasts to really emphasize that truffle flavor.
Everything stuffed chicken breasts are my new favorite unique dinner! They’re creamy, rich, and full of flavor. Try them tonight!
