Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Chicken Breasts.
4 Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
4 Bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
2 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 4 pieces
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
2/3 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons Finely chopped parsley
1. With a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the thickest side of each chicken breast. Stuff each with 1/4 of the bacon and a piece of cheese. Seal with a toothpick (remove before serving). Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and paprika.
2. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 4 minutes per side, until browned. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove from skillet and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
3. Stir cornstarch into chicken broth with a fork until dissolved. Add to skillet and bring to a boil, scrapping up browned bits on bottom of skillet. Cook 3 minutes, until sauce is thickened. Add chopped parsley. When serving, spoon sauce over chicken.
Directions:
Pound out the chicken breasts between some plastic wrap.
Lay one piece of breast out and place a piece of cheese and a strip of jalapeno on it.
Fold in the ends then roll up the breast.
Wrap the rolled breast in bacon and secure with a toothpick (might want to soak those toothpicks in water overnight) or a metal skewer.
Cook on grill or in the oven till chicken breast is done.
This recipe comes from a Mexican restaurant I visited outside Temple, Texas but I have forgotten the name.
