Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast
This will most likely be the BEST chicken breast you will ever eat. Here
is the recipe. It is somewhat lowfat and good for you too!
Here is one of my FAVORITE low fat recipes for chicken breasts. This is
VERY flavorful and very filling.
You will need:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 pkg (2 cups) of mozerrela cheese (May substitute for low fat)
2 tblspoons of FRESH (not dried) basil
1 tsp of garlic.
1 tsp of salt
1 cup SEASONED bread crumbs
Procedure:
FILLING: Chop mozerrela cheese finely so it takes up less space. Take
cheese, garlic, salt, basil and combine in a bowl. If fresh basil is not
available, take 2 tblspoons of dried basil and let soak in 3 tblspoons of
water for a few hours until it becomes soft. Plain dried basil will not
work properly! Let bowl sit at ROOM TEMPERATURE while preparing chicken.
CHICKEN: Pound chicken breasts until they are very thin. Use meat
mallet, crab mallet whatever, just dont put any holes in the chicken
itself. Then bread the chicken on both sides with the seasoned bread
crumbs. Once they are all breaded, place a generous amount of the cheese
mixture into the center of the chicken breast. Remember, cheese
compresses easily, you can stuff more than you think in there! Fold in
the sides and roll it up. Secure with a toothpick (or 2 or 3)
.
BAKE: Bake in an oven at 350 for about 45-60 minutes depending on how
many. If the chicken is cooked, its done.
VARIATIONS:
I used the remainder of my cheeze and basil to make a sauce one time that
came out excellent. All you have to do is melt 1/2 a stick of butter in
a pan, add about 1/4 cup of flower. Add about 2 cups of milk, and the
cheese mixture. Then just add milk till you get a creamy sauce. It make
a WONDERFUL topper for the dish, however it also raises the fat content
of the dish (butter).
Definitely give this one a shot, this one of my family’s FAVORITE dishes.
Its also very easy to prepare.
