Meat - Stuffed Chicken Thighs by Melania N. - Recipia

Boneless chicken thighs are a versatile ingredient, and when stuffed with mozzarella and sausage, they become an irresistible delicacy. Start by carefully deboning the chicken thighs, making sure to keep the skin intact, as this will help retain juiciness and flavors during cooking. Once you have finished deboning, season each thigh with salt and freshly ground pepper to add a special taste. Next, you will fill the thighs. Sprinkle grated mozzarella along the thigh, ensuring not to overdo it so that it doesn’t spill out during baking. Then add a piece of sausage that does not exceed the size of the thigh. With great care, bring the ends of the thigh together to recreate the original shape. Make sure the filling is well sealed, and to prevent it from coming apart, secure the thighs with toothpicks. Once you have finished filling and securing the thighs, place them in a baking dish. Season them again with salt, pepper, and for an extra flavor, add fresh or dried oregano, depending on your preference. This will give your dish a Mediterranean taste. Around the thighs, place the quartered onion, which will add sweetness and flavor to the dish during baking. Drizzle olive oil over the thighs and onion, then pour enough water to slightly cover the thighs. This step is essential to ensure even cooking and to keep the meat juicy. Preheat the oven to a medium temperature and place the dish in the oven. Cook the thighs for about 40-50 minutes, or until the meat is tender and browned. When the thighs are almost done, carefully remove the toothpicks, turning them over to brown evenly. Leave them in the oven for another 10-15 minutes until they have a golden and appetizing crust. Serve them hot, alongside your desired side dish, whether it’s baked potatoes, a fresh salad, or sautéed vegetables. This simple yet flavorful recipe will surely impress anyone who sits at your table. Enjoy your meal!
