Savory Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Preparation Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Chicken Slice a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Filling In a bowl, combine the cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, red pepper flakes, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and mayonnaise. Mix well.

Assembly Stuff each chicken breast with the bacon and cheese filling, then secure with toothpicks.

Coating Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.

Baking Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Sauce While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Cook over medium heat until thickened.

Serving Serve the baked stuffed chicken breasts with the creamy sauce.
