STUFFED AND WRAPPED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a small baking dish.
• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until the grease has mostly rendered, but the bacon is still very soft, about 3 minutes. Remove, and pat dry with paper towels; set aside.
• Stir together the cream cheese, green onions, bell pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl until combined. Divide this mixture onto each chicken breast. Fold the breasts in half, and wrap with 2 slices of bacon. Secure with toothpicks as needed. Place into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the thickest part, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

BOURSIN-STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Using a meat tenderizer, pound the chicken until 1/4" thick. Pat dry and liberally season it with salt and pepper on both sides. Place a spoonful or two of Boursin on one end of each piece, top with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, and roll the chicken up, starting at the cheese-topped end. Wrap chicken with a slice of prosciutto and place in a baking dish seam-side down, so the prosciutto doesn't unravel. Repeat with each piece of chicken.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear when pierced with a fork or knife.

CHICKEN IN PHYLLO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃). Halve chicken breasts & pound flat. Melt butter. Layer 4 sheets of phyllo, buttering each sheet. On each chicken breast sprinkle 1 tablespoon shallots and ¼ teaspoon of sage. If using fresh sage use one whole large leaf for each breast. Lay one ounce of cheese on each breast & roll up. Place breast in the middle of the phyllo, at one end; roll once, fold in sides, brush with butter and continue rolling, buttering as you go. Lay all on ungreased cookie sheet and bake 25 minutes until browned and the breasts have been cooked through. If you have a thermometer the breasts should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST WRAPPED IN BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Make a pocket in each of the chicken breasts by slicing down one side, making sure to not slice all the way through. Stuff each pocket with mozzarella cheese and a 1/4 the minced garlic. Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each stuffed breast and secure in place with toothpicks. The pocket opening should be completely covered.
• Combine onion and remaining garlic in a shallow baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Place stuffed chicken breasts on top and sprinkle with rosemary.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WRAPPED IN PHYLLO

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Mix feta and mozzarella cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and white wine together in a bowl. Spread each breast with cheese mixture and add small amount of spinach (do not over stuff as it will not roll up securely). Roll in jelly roll fashion - tuck ends lightly to seal. Set aside.
• Cut sheets of Phyllo dough in half making two sets of squares. Using four sheets separate each sheet and spread with butter, stacking together. Place a stuffed chicken breast on the Phyllo and roll up folding sides in to secure the chicken. Arrange in a buttered baking dish and butter the top of the Phyllo again. Sprinkle with cracked black pepper.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake 1 hour at 300°F Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes or until Phyllo is flakey on top.
