This boneless chicken thigh recipe might be one of the easiest meals I make. Much like my stuffed pork tenderloin, it looks impressive but is made easy with some shortcuts.

Ingredient list

• Chicken - boneless, skinless chicken thigh
• Stuffing - any prepared stuffing will do
• Gravy - a simple jar of chicken gravy or if you have leftover homemade turkey gravy you can use that too
• Milk
• Salt & Pepper

If you want to use boneless chicken breasts, you can. Simply pound some boneless chicken cutlets until thin with a meat mallet and then follow the usual instructions.

I do prefer this recipe with the boneless thighs because they stay tender and juicy. Boneless breasts can quickly get dry if you aren't paying attention and overcook. So, if you are using boneless breasts, be sure to use a thermometer so you know exactly when they're ready!

Serving suggestion

I think it makes an impressive presentation to serve the chicken thighs over a mound of mashed potatoes.

I also like to serve a green vegetable side dish. Something like air fryer asparagus or air fryer broccoli are my favorite choices.

Preparation

1. Start by trimming any yucky bits off the chicken. Then open the thighs up, the tend to come packaged up, almost folded over.

2. Next scoop some of the stuffing into the center of the chicken thigh and fold it over. You may not get it folded all around and that is okay, this is a rustic style dish so just do as you can.

3. Place all the stuffed chicken thighs in to a baking dish. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. If you have extra stuffing just arrange it all around the chicken.

4. Combine a jar of gravy with milk and pour on top of the chicken and bake until chicken reads 165 F when tested with a quick-read thermometer.
