Cheesy Bacon-Stuffed Chicken Breast

Cheesy Bacon-Stuffed Chicken Breast

Recipe by The Papa from allrecipes.com

Dinner 1 Hr. 10 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups Italian bread crumbs, divided
  • 4 slices peppered bacon
  • 4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 0.5 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 large eggs, well beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil, then sprinkle 3 pinches bread crumbs across the bottom.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
  • Filet chicken breasts 90% of the way through and open like a hot dog bun. Spread 2 tablespoons chopped Parmesan cheese on one side of each breast. Top each with a bacon slice and 1 1/2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan.
  • Close the breasts. Dip in beaten egg, then in bread crumbs. Place in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining shredded Cheddar over top.
  • Cook in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
