How to cook deliciously - Cheesy Bacon-Stuffed Chicken Breast

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil, then sprinkle 3 pinches bread crumbs across the bottom.

2. Stage

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.

3. Stage

Filet chicken breasts 90% of the way through and open like a hot dog bun. Spread 2 tablespoons chopped Parmesan cheese on one side of each breast. Top each with a bacon slice and 1 1/2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan.

4. Stage

Close the breasts. Dip in beaten egg, then in bread crumbs. Place in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining shredded Cheddar over top.

5. Stage

Cook in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
