French Seasoned Stuffed Chicken Breasts

With French Seasoned Celtic Sea Salt

🧂 Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp French Seasoned Celtic Sea Salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Toothpicks or butcher’s twine

👨🍳 Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chickenPat chicken breasts dry. Season both sides generously with French Seasoned Celtic Sea Salt and a bit of black pepper.
  3. To sear the chicken, heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.  Add olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts on both sides for about 1–2 minutes per side, just to develop color.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. To Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with French Seasoned Celtic Sea Salt (start with 1 tbsp, adjust to taste). Mix until smooth and well blended.
  6. Stuff the chicken: Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket (do not cut all the way through). Fill each pocket with the cream cheese mixture. Use toothpicks or butcher’s twine to secure the chicken around the filling.
  7. Place the stuffed chicken back into the skillet. Cut the lemon in half, squeeze the juice over the chicken, and place the lemon halves in the pan. Add butter around the chicken.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.  Spoon pan sauce over the top and enjoy!

🍽️ Tip:

Pair with roasted vegetables, a light salad, or creamy mashed potatoes for a balanced meal.

About the Chef

Hi there! I’m Sheila Washam — passionate cook, devoted wife, proud mom of four, and grandma to four precious grandbabies. I’m the second of five siblings, and from an early age, I found my happy place in the kitchen. For nearly 30 years, I’ve poured my heart into cooking for family, friends, church events, and anyone who needs a little comfort food in their life.

I love gardening, raising chickens, canning, and all things homesteading. You’ll often find me snapping photos of whatever’s bubbling on the stove or coming fresh out of the oven — and yes, I’m unapologetically that person who shares food pics on Facebook and Instagram.

In 2009, I studied Culinary Arts at the Art Institute of Nashville. While I loved every second of learning and experimenting, I realized that the intense hours of a professional chef didn’t align with raising a family. Instead, I took those skills and let them bloom at home — creating new dishes, testing bold flavor combinations, and feeding both bellies and souls.

Over the years, I’ve catered events (just for fun!), gifted homemade meals, and organized church dinners. Cooking isn’t just a skill for me — it’s how I connect, give, and celebrate life. I’m currently writing a cookbook filled with recipes and stories from my kitchen, and while many have urged me to open a restaurant, I haven’t taken that leap just yet. Never say never, though — they’re still trying!

My husband, Jason, is my partner in life and in the kitchen. We love experimenting together, especially drawing inspiration from our travels and the incredible flavors we’ve discovered around the world. He’s also the genius behind our soon-to-be-released Grilling Glazes — and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Whether you're here for recipes, homesteading tips, or just to follow the food journey — welcome to my kitchen. Let’s cook something delicious together!
