RED PEPPER STUFFED CHICKEN


(RECIPE POSTED BY DARLENE FALLS)

Let me start off by saying you are going to use a lot of dishes with this one, accept it and move on, and again, I'm not a big recipe precise quantity kind of cook...this came out of my head. Made it a few times, it's had good reviews by the guests.

Preheat your oven to 375 F
Chicken breasts, enough for everyone and some left overs
Jar of flame roasted red peppers
Asiago cheese, grated

Set up a breading station:

plate of flour,
bowl of lightly beaten egg
a plate of bread crumbs, season them Italian style...

Now drain some of the red peppers and set them up in a bowl on the counter, set out some cheese ( I just make a little pile on the counter) and butterfly your chicken breasts.
Lay a piece of red pepper in the chicken, trim to fit and then place some of the cheese.
Carefully close the chicken up to enclose the filling, dredge it in flour, dip it in egg and then coat with seasoned bread crumbs....this is fussy work, rinse your fingers after each one to keep your work clean.

Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Repeat until all the chicken is stuffed and breaded. Place in oven for about 50 minutes, until it's brown and the chicken is cooked.
Very yummy served with roasted potatoes, also served it with whole grain pasta and a vodka cream sauce with artichoke hearts and a green salad and maybe some broccoli, or whatever your favorite veg is.
Sure you can buy stuff like this at M&M's, but it's not the same...

Enjoy, and happy cooking.
