Sausage-Stuffed Chicken with Creamy Mashed Potatoes

1.Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2.Prepare the stuffing: Remove the sausage from their casings and cook them in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Add finely chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, and rosemary. Cook until the onion is translucent. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

3.Butterfly the chicken breasts: Cut a pocket into each chicken breast without cutting all the way through. Season the inside with salt and pepper.

4.Stuff the chicken: Fill each chicken breast with the prepared sausage stuffing.

5.Secure the opening with toothpicks to prevent the stuffing from falling out during cooking.

6.Beat the egg in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

7.Dip each stuffed chicken breast in the beaten egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

8.Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the stuffed chicken on all sides.

9.Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

10.Meanwhile, prepare the mashed potatoes: Peel and chop the potatoes into cubes. Boil in salted water until tender. Drain and mash with butter, milk, cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

11.Serve the sausage-stuffed chicken hot with a side of creamy mashed potatoes.

12.Enjoy your delicious meal!
