Onion – An onion makes everything taste better! It is one of those savory ingredients that just brings out the best in the dish overall. Choose a yellow or white onion because they are excellent when cooked down.
Parsley – Parsley is the perfect herb! It has a wonderful color taste, and aroma. Plus, parsley is high in vitamins.
Chicken Breasts – This Stuffed Chicken Breast Boats Recipe recipe is all about the chicken. Choose nicely sized boneless, skinless chicken breasts; this will save you a little time with trimming. Everyone knows chicken as a lean protein but it also provides a ton of vitamin B6. This vitamin is essential to nervous and brain health, so eat chicken for your muscles and your mind!
Chicken Spices – A delectable blend of seasonings chicken spices are a great way to add tons of savory flavor to poultry with just one ingredient. Chicken spices, sometimes labeled poultry spices, commonly contain basil, rosemary, garlic powder, dry mustard powder, paprika, pepper, thyme, celery seed, parsley, cumin, cayenne pepper, and chicken bouillon.
Sea Salt – Sea salt is less refined than table salt making it more nutritious. Himalayan salt is another natural salt that works as a great substitute.
Garlic Powder and Onion Powder – These two are the one-two punch of earthy savory, and sweet flavor that the chicken needs!
Smoked Paprika – Smoked paprika is a type of paprika where the peppers have been smoked to add even more complex and delicious flavor.
Olive Oil – A little cooking oil helps everything get deliciously golden brown!
Greek Yogurt – Greek yogurt is thicker than traditional yogurt but with the same familiar tang. This sharp tanginess is what makes it so great in the boats; it adds a pleasant zestiness to round out the dish. In a pinch sour cream makes a suitable substitute for this delicious probiotic dairy.
Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese – A little extra cheese never hurts so this dish is finished with an extra dose of melty mozzarella and aged parmesan. It’s a delicious way to add even more delicious calcium-rich flavor to this tasty plate!
