Yes. You read that right. Delicious chicken. Usually chicken is unremarkable, but the chicken I made last night was pretty freaking delicious. So I'm posting to share the recipe. I just tossed this stuff together, so I don't have exact measurements.
Take a chicken breast and slice it in half, then pound it as flat as possible. Season with salt and pepper. Layer diced sun dried tomatoes, spinach, fresh basil, and bleu cheese in the middle of the chicken. I used about half as much basil/bleu cheese as SDT/spinach. Season again with salt and pepper.
Roll the chicken starting at the small end. Secure with toothpicks.
Set up three bowls. One with flour, one with a beaten egg, and one with fresh bread crumbs. Dredge the chicken in the flour, dip it in the egg, and then coat it in the fresh bread crumbs. Set the chicken in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to 2 hours to let the bread crumbs set.
Heat olive oil in a skillet on the stove. Sear all sides of the chicken until the bread crumbs are crispy, about 2 minutes (less if the oil is smokin hot like mine was). Bake in the oven 15 to 25 minutes at 350, or until a thermometer reads 165. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
And...its that simple. And really really delicious! I will definitely make this again. It was even guest worthy!
