Jarlsberg Chicken

Duroc's Note:

I developed this recipe when I was tired and wanted something very quick for my family. It takes less than 30 minutes to make and impresses everyone that has it.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8-10

Yield: 8.0 Breasts

• 8 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 (6 ounce) box cornbread stuffing mix
• ½ cup olive oil , Extra Virgin
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 8 slices jarlsberg cheese
• 1 large frying pan non stick
• two bowls the width of a chicken breast

Directions:

1. Place the stuffing mix in a gallon freezer bag and pound with a small pot or mallet to a fairly fine consistency. This could also be done in a food processor. Place the fine stuffing in a bowl.
2. Pour the olive oil in the other bowl.
3. Butterfly each breast and place a slice of Jarlsberg cheese, cut to fit inside the chicken, in the middle.
4. Dredge the breast in the olive oil, then place it in the stuffing mix and coat very well.
5. Place the breast in a large skillet with the vegetable oil at medium high heat and cook for approximately 5 minutes per side or until golden brown.

This chicken is simple & delicious! Like Fluffster, I also used Haverti cheese in place of Jarlsberg and it tasted wonderful! I loved the idea of coating the chicken breasts with cornbread stuffing! I used our blender to smooth the cornbread stuffing and coated each chicken breast with a good thick layer of the crumbs before putting them in the skillet. I boiled some potatoes and we ate the chicken with mashed potatoes & gravy and a caesar salad. Excellent recipe! Thanks so much!

This is a very easy to make recipe, and it turned out delicious. This is a great recipe to go to when time is a factor. I didn't have any Jarlsberg cheese, so I used what I had, Havarti, and it was delicious as well. Great recipe, great idea! Thanks for posting Duroc!
