Chicken Stuffed With Mushroom, Cheese and Bacon
by DLM’s son
This a wonderful sounding recipe that I found at Dr. B’s place and posted by DLM. Her son was responsible for creating this yummy dish
Serves 3
INGREDIENTS:
3 chicken breasts and sliced them in half (butterflied)
6 slices of applewood bacon, cut into roughly one inch pieces
one cup of crimini mushrooms (aka baby bellas)
1/4 cup (or more) of shredded cheddar cheese
DIRECTIONS:
Cook bacon in medium fry pan until not quite crisp.
Add the criminis (baby bellas)
Saute mushrooms with bacon for five minutes, or until the mushrooms are brown.
Butterfly 3 chicken breasts (ours were 12 ounces), but 6 or 8 ounce breasts work fine.
Slide mushroom and bacon mixture into the chicken breasts.
Top with cheddar (we used a rotary cheese grater).
Close chicken breasts.
Place on a parchment covered baking sheet or pan.
Add 2 cups of water to the pan (to keep them moist)
Bake at 350 degrees for a half hour, or until done.
(Chicken is firm and not pink when done).
NOTE from DLM: “They were excellent. He served them with broccoli and celery sauteed in lemon juice and butter. Very nice dinner. We had a lovely cabernet sauvignon. . .”
