How to Make Ruth Chris Stuffed Chicken

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (205°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, and ranch seasoning. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Stuff the Chicken: Cut pockets into the thickest part of the chicken breasts. Divide the filling evenly between the pockets, then gently press to close them.
Season the Chicken: Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika on both sides of the stuffed breasts.
Add Butter: Place a small pat of butter on top of each stuffed chicken breast.
Bake: Place the chicken in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Rest: Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
