How To Make awesome stuffed chicken breast

  • Step 1
    Grease a 13"X 9" casserole with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil; set aside.
  • Step 2
    Place each chicken breast in it's own large plastic zipper bag and seal.
  • Step 3
    Use the smooth side of a meat mallet to pound chicken to flatten. Do not overdo it or meat will fall apart when you try to roll it up.
  • Step 4
    Working with one at a time, remove chicken from bag and place on a flat work surface (large platter, cutting board etc...)
  • Step 5
    On chicken, place one slice of thin ham, then cheese, mushrooms and a slice of bacon.
  • Step 6
    Lift one end of chicken and start rolling it up jellyroll-style, tucking the edges in as you go. Place seam side down on a plate or dish as you repeat steps with remaining chicken.
  • Step 7
    Place rolled breasts in refrigerator for 1/2 to 1 hour to firm up for ease of handling while applying bread crumb coating.
  • Step 8
    While chicken is chilling, melt 3 tablespoons butter in microwave or in a small saucepan on stove.
  • Step 9
    Mix the melted butter with one cup seasoned bread crumbs, stirring until all crumbs are coated. Set aside.
  • Step 10
    Preheat oven to 375 or 400 degrees F. (Time and temperature depends on size of chicken breast rolls.)
  • Step 11
    Remove chicken from refrigerator. Working one at a time, lightly coat chicken with some of the mayonnaise, then roll the chicken in bread crumbs and place, seam side down, in oiled casserole dish. (If rolling is difficult, use hands to pat the crumbs onto the chicken, covering thoroughly.)
  • Step 12
    Repeat coating steps with remaining chicken rolls.
  • Step 13
    Place, uncovered, in preheated oven. Bake for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature of each roll. The temperature should be 160 to 165 degrees F.
  • Step 14
    While chicken is baking, make the sauce (and herbed rice, if desired.)
  • Step 15
    SAUCE: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Remove from heat. Add 3 tablespoons flour, stirring until smooth.
  • Step 16
    Add both mustards, garlic powder and salt. Stir until smooth.
  • Step 17
    Return to medium heat. Stir in milk and cream and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until thickened and smooth. Cover and keep warm until serving.
  • Sliced stuffed chicken breast with sauce and rice on plate.
    Step 18
    Spoon sauce over chicken. Serve immediately. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
