Garlic-Lemon Double Stuffed Chicken
Sounds really good, on my to cook list. Use the shortcut for savings as well.
Ingredients
- 8 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 250 grams Cream cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices
- 250 grams Cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs, OR make from a shortcut
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 clove galic, smashed and minced
- 3/4 cup butter, melted, this is 3/4 regular block
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 C. Lightly grease a large, shallow baking dish with butter.
- Butterfly each breast by slicing in half horizontally through the center, cutting almost but not completely through. Place one slice each of Cheddar and Cream cheese in the center of each breast. Close again as if placing between the pages of a book. Set aside.
- Pour the milk into a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Carefully dip each breast first in milk, then in breadcrumb mixture, patting lightly to firmly coat. Place breasts side by side in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, tucking edges under to seal.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in lemon juice and garlic, and drizzle evenly over chicken. Season breasts with garlic salt and paprika, if using. Bake for 30 minutes, or until no longer pink in center and juices run clear. Let rest for 5 minutes, serve.
Notes
The chicken, for 8 breasts, will cost about 150 Baht. The cheeses, Cream cheese will cost about 120 Baht, the Cheddar will cost about 180 Baht. For 8 servings, this is about $1.65 per serving.
