Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 1/2 cream cheese 8 ounce package, divided into 4 slices
- 4 lices cheddar cheese old
- 4 tablespoons chive chopped
- 4 tablespoons green onion chopped
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs Italian seasoned
- 1/4 cup Romano cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- salt to taste, sea salt
- black pepper to taste, sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a cooking sheet ( if desired, my cookie sheets are non-stick) with cooking spray.
- Butterfly each breast by slicing in half horizontally through the center, cutting almost but not completely through.
- Place one slice each of the old cheddar and the cream cheese in the center of each breast, top with 1 tbsp green onion and then close the top of the breast over it. Set aside.
- Pout the milk into a small shallow bowl that you can fit the chicken in.
- In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, garlic and Romano cheese. Carefully dip each breast first in milk, then into the breadcrumb mixture, patting lightly to firmly coat. Get a good coating!
- Try to tuck the edges under to close up the chicken breast and use a toothpick if you need to ( or three, I'm known to go crazy) to hold them together. The more you can get them closed, the less cheese you lose!
- Melt the butter in a microwave safe measuring up, then add in the lemon juice. Pour evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Salt and pepper the breasts.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until no longer pink in center and juices run clear.
