BRUSCHETTA STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS: RECIPE BY INDIANA MOMMY - COOKING FROM THE HEART LAND

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix together in a bowl the garlic, tomatoes, lemon juice, mozzarella & parmesan cheeses, basil, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, spinach, salt and pepper, then set aside. Use the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to grease your casserole or baking dish. Butterfly and pound down each half of your chicken breasts, then salt and pepper each side. Fill the middle of each chicken breast with a large spoonful of the stuffing mixture. Then roll the breast around the middle and place fold side down in the oiled casserole dish. Spread any remaining filling out over the rolled chicken in your dish. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. The time will depend on how thick your chicken breasts are and how tightly packed your dish is.
• Once your chicken is cooked through let it sit for 10 minutes in the cooking juice before cutting.
• This creates quite a bit of juice so the chicken stays moist and flavorful while cooking it's baking.

HAM AND CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Insert a paring knife into the thickest part of each chicken breast to make a 3-inch-long pocket down the side, cutting in about halfway. Rub the insides of the pockets with 1 tablespoon of the mustard for all 4 breasts. Stuff each breast with 2 half slices of ham and 1 slice of provolone, folding them to fit. Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the chicken; reduce the heat to medium if the chicken becomes too dark towards the end of the cooking time. Cover the skillet with a lid or a piece of aluminum foil during the last 3 minutes of cooking time to finish cooking the chicken through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Check the temperature at the thickest part of the breast without stuffing.
• Transfer the chicken to 4 plates or a cutting board and add the chicken broth and remaining 1 tablespoon mustard to the skillet. Cook, whisking, over medium-high heat until the sauce has reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and swirl in the butter and chopped herbs.
• Depending on the size of the breasts, either put 1chicken breast on each of 4 plates or slice all the breasts and divide among 6 plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes on the side.
• Serving suggestion: Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes, recipe follows.
• Place a rimmed baking sheet in the center rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
