Stuffed Chicken Breast

The idea, althugh not this particular recipe, started as an attempt to reverse-engineer Chicken Kiev, but even before I made it I knew this wasn't it. I like garlic and not much else; obviously the specifics aren't carved in stone.

• Ready In: 27 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1  cup  shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz.)
• 2  large eggs
• 1  cup flour
• 4  cloves garlic, chopped
•  oil (for frying)

Directions

1. Split the chicken breasts.
2. Cut a deep pocket in each piece, but don't go all the way through.
3. Fill the pockets with cheese-- be sure it's fairly deep.
4. Beat the eggs in a bowl.
5. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and the garlic.
6. Holding the cut end closed, dip each piece in the egg, then dredge in the flour mixture.
7. Fry at 360 F for seven minutes.
