Stuffed Chickens


This is SUPER EASY and one of our favorites to make (especially when we have people over). Trevor actually made it up... i am not creative and HAVE to HAVE a recipe. I will just include the instructions for 1 breast and you can multiply as you need. 

1 Boneless skinless chicken breast (we use the foster farms frozen individual ones from costco)
1 lite laughing cow cheese wedge 
1 strip of turkey bacon*
cooking spray
parmesan cheese

1. thaw chicken breast
2. slice open along side to make a slit to fit stuff in (i usually cut it halfway on the side and then take the cut all the way to almost the other side, so the meat is still attached) 
3. open the cheese wedge and mash it a little with your fingers and then put it on both sides of the inside of your cut
4. put the piece of turkey bacon in there too! 
5. spray both sides with cooking spray and top with parmesan cheese and your favorite herbs

I usually use my roasting pan (the one that comes with your oven) line the top with tin foil and then put the it on the second rack down and then broil the chicken on high. (This is actually how i cook all my chicken and it turns out juicy as ever and amazing!!!) Flip once the chicken is white/opaque on one side and then respray the other side and add your seasonings. it usually takes about 10 min a side.

*we have tried regular bacon, canadian bacon, ham, and turkey bacon. We like the turkey bacon the best because you get extra cooking juices but not the fat of regular bacon. 

i don't have the nutritional info for these, but they are very rich tasting but each breast is under 250-300 calories with all the stuffings! 

(btw i took like 20 pictures of this and i couldn't get one good one, trevor totally was making fun of me)
