This is one of my husband's favorites, which is good because I love it too and it is so easy to make! I love recipes that can easily be adapted, and this one is perfect because there are so many different things you could do with it. Try it and I promise you will love it! For me the best thing about this recipe is LOTS of filling -- so if you feel like there is not enough, go ahead and double the recipe.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon butter
1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 egg
½ cup cheese-flavored crackers (such as Cheez-It Duoz Sharp Cheddar and Parmesan®), crushed
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 ¼ cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.
Place a chicken breast between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken breast with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Repeat with the other chicken breasts.
Melt the butter in a small skillet, and cook the mushrooms until they begin to brown, about 8 minutes. Set aside. Beat egg in a shallow bowl. Place the cracker crumbs in another shallow bowl.
In a bowl, mix together the mushrooms, cream cheese, 1 cup of Cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese; spread the mixture generously over the chicken. Roll the chicken breasts up, dip each into beaten egg, and roll the bundles in cracker crumbs. Place into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the bundles with the remaining 1/4 cup of Cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through, the filling has melted, and the crumbs are golden brown, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a roll should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHEESY CHICKEN BUNDLES- OAMC

You just cant go wrong with this tasty chicken dish. I would be proud to serve it to company, and yet it is so easy that it is great for any day of the week. Crispy and flavorful on the outside, moist and juicy on the inside...and a real kid-pleaser. Why not add some red potatoes in the same dish alongside the chicken (poke holes in them or half if large) and bake for an easy side? Lovely served with a green salad for a complete meal with minimal effort. Recipe easily tripled for OAMC. Enjoy! From the book: Don't Panic: Dinner's in the Freezer

Tips:

Choose the right chicken breasts for even cooking. Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size and thickness. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
Use a sharp knife to slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally. This will help to create a pocket for the stuffing.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper before stuffing them. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
Use a variety of fillings for your chicken bundles. Some popular options include cheese, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and mushrooms.
Be careful not to overstuff the chicken bundles. Too much filling can make the chicken difficult to cook evenly.
Bake the chicken bundles in a preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve the chicken bundles hot with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Cheesy chicken bundles are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
