Best Mushroom Bacon And Cheese Stuffed Breaded Chicken Breasts Recipes

MUSHROOM STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Wash, dry, and butterfly chicken breasts. (To butterfly put your chicken breast on a chopping board and, with your hand flat on top of it, use a sharp knife to slice into one side of the breast, starting at the thicker end and ending at the thin point. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the other side.) Set aside.
• Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Finely chop each mushroom, discarding the tough ends of stems.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped mushroom to the skillet. Fry until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn the garlic. Set aside to cool.
• Once cooled, stir cream cheese, bacon, parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper together.
• Open butterflied chicken breasts and scoop 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into the fold, spread evenly keeping away from the edges of the chicken. (Optional: Secure the fold with a toothpick.)
• Season chicken with salt and pepper.
• Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter, and 2 tablespoons lime juice to a skillet, cook over medium heat. Once the oil mixture starts to sizzle, add the chicken to the pan.
• Cook each side for 8-10 minutes and then flip. Use the pan juices to baste the chicken during the cooking process. (Note: Cooking time will vary based on the size of the chicken breast. Using a meat thermometer is always recommended. The chicken should be 165 °F when fully cooked.)
• Serve warm.

MUSHROOM STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place butter in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until slightly softened.
• Add in mushrooms and cook until juices are released and reabsorbed. Add wine and thyme. Cook until evaporated but not dry. Cool completely.
• Combine cooled mushrooms with cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and salt & pepper to taste.
• Using a sharp knife, cut a 1 ½″ slit in the side of the chicken. Move the knife around creating a pocket. Fill the pocket with ¼ of the mushroom mixture. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
• Sprinkle the chicken with paprika, garlic powder, and salt & pepper to taste.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in an oven-proof skillet. Brown the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side until golden.
• Place the skillet in the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest part.

GOAT CHEESE AND MUSHROOM STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts, 1 by 1, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/2-inch thick. Set aside.
• Stem the mushrooms and place the caps and stems separately in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Melt the butter in a medium-sized saute pan over medium-high heat and add the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid, and saute until all the liquid has evaporated. (This is called a duxelle.) Season well with the salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Smear each chicken breast with some of the goat cheese and top with some of the duxelle. Roll the breast up and tie with the kitchen twine. Season with the salt and pepper. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and sear the chicken on all sides. Continue to saute until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Allow to sit 5 minutes before removing the kitchen twine and slicing each rolled breast into 4 to 5 slices. Top with some of the remaining duxelle and several spoonfuls of the Mushroom Wine Sauce. Serve with the Sauteed Fingerling Potatoes, garnished with the chopped parsley.
• Place the shiitakes in a mixing bowl and add the boiling water. Allow to sit undisturbed 15 to 20 minutes, until the liquid is richly fragrant and has taken on the earthy flavor of the mushrooms. Strain and reserve the liquid. Discard the mushrooms or reserve for another use. In a small saute pan over medium-high heat, bring the mushroom liquid to a strong boil and reduce by half. Add the wine and chicken stock, reduce by 1/2 again. Remove from heat and add the butter, swirling the pan until the butter is incorporated and the sauce is glossy and shiny. Season with the salt and pepper.
• Using the mandoline or a knife, slice the potatoes into thin rounds of uniform thickness. Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat and saute the potatoes until cooked through with a golden, crispy crust. Season with the salt and pepper.

CHEESY BACON-STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• 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).

CHEESY MUSHROOM-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
• Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise, leaving one side attached. Open breasts to lay flat, resembling a butterfly.
• On one half of each breast, layer 1/4 of the mushrooms. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon each of onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley flakes over each one. Season with pepper, then sprinkle about 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese over top. Fold the ungarnished sides over the toppings and secure the edges with toothpicks to hold them together while baking. Transfer to the prepared baking pan.
• Mix condensed soup with milk and pour over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar over top, then add bread crumbs to cover each breast.
• Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake until the bread crumb topping is crispy and the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
