Happy fall everyone! Fall equals changing colors in our trees, comfort food and crisp air. It’s also time for the holidays and family time. I love this time of year. And I love Thanksgiving stuffing. I can eat that all day long. So I thought “why wait?” A packaged stuffing mix with the herbs & seasonings already there was a great start to these baked stuffed chicken breasts. Of course, I had to add onions and other seasonings and mustard. Mustard you ask? Well, a good mustard powder is an easy addition to give this stuffing extra flavor.
One nice thing about this recipe is that you can roll up the chicken ahead of time then pop them in the oven when you’re ready. This is great if you’re having a dinner party since you certainly would rather mingle with your guests instead of being in the kitchen. This would also be a nice alternative to the traditional Thanksgiving dinner if you want to cook outside the box.

Onion and Mustard Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Ingredients
- 2 Large Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut in half)
- 1 cup water
- 1 chicken bullion cube
- 1/4 cup red onion (chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (chopped)
- 1 heaped tablespoon Colemans Old English Mustard Powder (divided)
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 2 cups Pepperidge Farms Herb Stuffing
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (shredded)
Note
Prior to baking, you can prepare some rice or veggies for these to lay on for a one dish meal. I used brussels sprouts but just about any veggie, rice or potato will work too.
Directions
| Step 1 | |
|
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the chicken. I cut mine horizontally since the chicken breasts were huge. I buy them at Costco in the 3 pack of 1 pound each and they are never small. Place each breast on a cookie sheet and pound them thin. I use a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the chicken because the juice splatters and I don't want that all over my counter. Salt and pepper each side and set aside.  | |
| Step 2 | |
| Boil the water and bullion in a medium saucepan. Add the garlic, onion, 1 teaspoon of the mustard, and thyme to the water and stir together. Add the stuffing mix and fluff it with a fork. Let it stand 5 minutes. After it sets up, stir in the parmesan | |
| Step 3 | |
|
Now it's time to roll the chicken. Lay a piece on a cutting board and sprinkle 1/4 of the remaining mustard on the top of each. Spoon in 1/4 of the stuffing mix, leaving some room around the edges. Roll them up and tie them closed with some cooking twine. I used two ties on each piece.  | |
| Step 4 | |
|
Lay the chicken rolls in a 9x13 glass baking dish. I baked mine on top of bacon and brussels sprouts, but you can use any veggie or rice. Season the top with salt and pepper if desired.  | |
| Step 5 | |
|
Bake in the oven on the middle rack for 25 minutes.  | |
