Category: Recipes

Bread Mixture
1 - 1 1/2 cups of Italian bread crumbs
1 tablespoon dried parsley (or fresh)
2 teaspoons Emeril original essence
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Egg Mixture
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon texas pete or tabasco (can be omitted)

Filling
6-7 strips of bacon
3 pieces of muenster cheese
3 pieces of provolone
3 pieces boneless skinless chicken breast

Directions
1.) Preheat the oven to 350. Cook bacon in a cast iron skillet (if you don't have one just use a regular frying pan).
2.) While the bacon is cooking mix together the bread crumbs and seasonings. In a separate bowl mix together the texas pete and eggs.
3.) When the bacon is done chop it up, fold the muenster cheese slices into quaters to break it up. Split the chicken to stuff it or you can purchase them already spilt.
4.) Layer 2 pieces of muenster cheese, some bacon (make sure not to use all of the bacon), and 2 more pieces of muenster cheese in the split you made in the chicken. Then dip the chicken in the egg mixture and then into the bread crumb mixture. Place the chicken into the frying pan where you cooked the bacon. Brown both sides of the chicken.
5.) Place the pan and the chicken into the oven and cook until the internal temperature is atleast 165 (about 20-25 minutes).
6.) Top each piece of chicken with one piece of provolone cheese and cook until melted and bubbly.
7.) Top with remaining bacon
