Oven Fried Provolone Stuffed Chicken Recipes

PROSCIUTTO-STUFFED BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH PESTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 11x7-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Slice a pocket lengthwise, horizontal to the cutting board, in each breast, leaving the tips intact and not slicing all the way through. The larger end of the breast should be a sort of cupped shape. Gently open each pocket, pointing the cut edge up, and leaving them on the cutting board. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
• Place 1 slice provolone cheese on each chicken breast. Layer 1 slice prosciutto over cheese, lightly folding it so it does not hang over the edge of the chicken. Spoon 2 tablespoons pesto over each chicken breast and top with tomato pieces. Sprinkle seasoned bread crumbs over chicken. Arrange chicken in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, stuffing-side up.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

PROVOLONE AND PANCETTA STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• In fry pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tsp oil. Cook pancetta until crispy. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels. Transfer pancetta mixture to small bowl; stir in sage.
• Create pocket in each chicken breast by laying breast on a work surface with the pointed end away from you. Insert long paring knife in the center of the end closest to you (rounded end). Move the knife around to enlarge the opening; forming a pocket.
• Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Stuff each breast with 2 tbsp cheese and 1 tbsp pancetta mixture. Set chicken on wire rack-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 5 minutes.
• Put flour, egg whites and bread crumbs in separate breading pans. Dredge chicken in flour, then dip into egg whites anc coat evenly with bread crumbs, pressing so they adhere. Set chicken on wire rack-lined baking sheet; refrigerate 15 minutes.
• In wide pan over high heat, heat 1 1/2 cups oil. Fry chicken in batches, 5-6 minutes. Turn chicken; reduce heat to medium. Cook until chicken is coated through, 7-8 minutes; add more oil if needed. Drain on paper towels.

OVEN FRIED PROVOLONE STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• At least one hour prior to baking the chicken, marinate in one cup of buttermilk. Refrigerate until baking.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F and spritz a baking sheet with cooking spray. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, and discard. Cut a slit in each chicken breast to form the pocket for the cheese being careful not to cut all the way through. Insert a folded slice of thick cut provolone cheese into the pocket. Of course, you could use your favorite cheese, if you like. Repeat this process with all of the chicken breasts.
• To prepare the dredging ingredients, mix one beaten egg with 3 tablespoons of milk, set aside. Season 1 cup of all purpose flour with 1/2 tsp each of salt, paprika and black pepper. [or to your taste] This amount of flour is likely more than needed. I prefer make a little extra, than not have enough. For the breading, mix together the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan-Romano, dried parsley, garlic powder and salt. Prepare the dredging ingredients in this order. Seasoned flour, egg wash, bread crumb coating. Have your baking sheet nearby so, you can move the chicken directly onto the pan after coating.
• After dredging, place the chicken breasts onto the baking sheet, and secure each one with toothpicks. [tip: Dip the toothpicks in water so, they won't get too hot in the oven] If you have long skewers, you could use those instead to skewer along the sides of the chicken to secure the pocket. Drizzle each piece with melted butter or margarine.
• Place into the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts, this may take a few minutes longer, or if they're thinner, less time. Rule of thumb with chicken is to bake until the juices run clear. Very important!
• Allow the chicken breasts to rest on the pan 5-10 minutes before serving. This chicken can be eaten alone, or with a dipping sauce such as marinara sauce. Yield: 4 pieces.
