Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 13

¾ pound bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons sour cream
⅛ tablespoon dried oregano
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup dry bread crumbs
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), chopped
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned but still soft. Reserve the bacon grease in the skillet, and cool the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cool, mix the bacon together with the feta cheese, 3 tablespoons of sour cream, oregano, and black pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Lay a chicken breast flat onto your work surface. Use the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife to cut a 2-inch pocket in the chicken breast. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Spoon the bacon mixture into the pockets. Pour the flour, egg, and bread crumbs into separate, shallow dishes. Gently press the chicken breasts into the flour to coat. Dip each into the beaten egg, then press into bread crumbs.
  • Reheat the bacon grease over medium heat. Brown the chicken breasts on both sides in the hot fat, about 2 minutes per side. Reserve the bacon grease in the pan. Place the breasts on a baking dish, and bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink and the filling is hot, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, cook the onion in the remaining bacon grease over medium heat until very tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Once the potatoes are done, mash together with the onion, butter, and remaining 3 tablespoons of sour cream. Serve the chicken breasts accompanied by the mashed potatoes.

Provided by Angelofraa

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Salad Supreme dry seasoning
grated romano cheese
grated parmesan cheese
steak seasoning (Mrs Dash Steak Grilling Blends)
oregano
parsley
paprika
Mrs Dash's extra spicy seasoning
1 1/2 tablespoons crushed garlic
2 cups of shredded asiago cheese
1/2 cup of diced red onion
5 slices of precooked Canadian bacon, diced
5 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thawed & pounded down

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line bottom of a glass pan with olive oil and set aside at least 10 – 15 toothpicks near your workstation.
  • Mix seasoning ingredients in a shallow pan, with enough room to lay one chicken breast down in it.
  • Add as much as you want of each seasoning per your taste, I used a couple of shakes for each ingredient and a little extra of the cheeses.
  • Mix all stuffing ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Lay one chicken breast in the shallow seasoning dish to coat the outside, and then in the center of the chicken breast add a line of the stuffing mixture.
  • Roll and seal by sticking a toothpick on the top of each end to close.
  • Once all the chicken breasts are stuffed and in the glass dish, you will have left over stuffing, place the leftover stuffing on top of each chicken breast on the lip of the “seal”.
  • Bake in oven for 30 minutes, check to see if done, depending on oven you may need another 15 minute.
