Ingredients

  • 4 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded (or any kind you like asiago or swiss is my fave)
  • 1/2 pound bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (boursin read my note)
  • 1/4 cup chives
  • 1 large egg or you can use egg whites or egg beaters
  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs, seasoned

How To Make chicken alla cathy

  • Step 1
    Preheat ove to 375.
  • Step 2
    Soften cream cheese (or boursin)and mix mozzarella, chives and bacon real good. (I dont use salt as I find the bacon and season bread crumbs is more then you need but adjust accordingly to your own taste.)
  • Step 3
    I take one chicken breast and cut in half so that you open it like a book and then cut that so you have 2 equal parts-do that for the other 4 so you have 8 pieces I take a large piece of plastic wrap put chicken in between fold the plastic wrap over the chicken and flatten the chicken breast with a meat mallot.
  • Step 4
    Spoon the cheese mixture equally onto all your flattened chicken breasts and then roll up(burrito style)and secure it with a toothpick. Just remember how many toothpicks you use so no ones eating a piece of wood :)
  • Step 5
    Pass the secured chicken breast thru the egg and then thru the bread crumb and place on a pan (I use a small sheet cake type cookie sheet pan)sprayed with pam (I also wrap the pan in foil so clean up is easier) I sometimes add grated parmesan cheese to the bread crumbs but thats optional)
  • Step 6
    Bake at 375 degrees for about 45 mins to an hour or until lightly browned.
