How To Make awesome stuffed chicken breast
-
Step 1Grease a 13"X 9" casserole with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil; set aside.
-
Step 2Place each chicken breast in it's own large plastic zipper bag and seal.
-
Step 3Use 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 4Working with one at a time, remove chicken from bag and place on a flat work surface (large platter, cutting board etc...)
-
Step 5On chicken, place one slice of thin ham, then cheese, mushrooms and a slice of bacon.
-
Step 6Lift 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 7Place rolled breasts in refrigerator for 1/2 to 1 hour to firm up for ease of handling while applying bread crumb coating.
-
Step 8While chicken is chilling, melt 3 tablespoons butter in microwave or in a small saucepan on stove.
-
Step 9Mix the melted butter with one cup seasoned bread crumbs, stirring until all crumbs are coated. Set aside.
-
Step 10Preheat oven to 375 or 400 degrees F. (Time and temperature depends on size of chicken breast rolls.)
-
Step 11Remove 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 12Repeat coating steps with remaining chicken rolls.
-
Step 13Place, 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 14While chicken is baking, make the sauce (and herbed rice, if desired.)
-
Step 15SAUCE: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Remove from heat. Add 3 tablespoons flour, stirring until smooth.
-
Step 16Add both mustards, garlic powder and salt. Stir until smooth.
-
Step 17Return 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.
-
Step 18Spoon sauce over chicken. Serve immediately. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
