Baked Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe

The grill and the oven are two ways of cooking food that allow you to enjoy food without any excess fat, without the result being bland.

Now, the stuffed chicken breast in the oven is cooked in the juice of the ingredients, so it is convenient to check every so often that there is enough liquid in the tray, so that it does not dry out.

If this happens, we must add a splash of water and, better yet, the same sauce with which we are cooking it.

Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes.
• The juice of 1 lemon.
• 8 chicken breast fillets.
• Bacon strips.
• A touch of finely chopped fresh parsley.
• Salt, pepper and olive oil (to taste).
• Cheese strips (whichever you like).

In this case, as you can see, we will be filling our chicken with bacon and cheese. If you are not a big fan of bacon, you can substitute it for some turkey ham or ham. These options are lighter than bacon and are very delicious.

As for cheese, the most recommended is gouda, although you can use whatever you prefer.  Given the versatility and types of cheese, you can choose the one you like the most to give that personal touch to your baked stuffed chicken breast.

Preparation

The preliminaries of this recipe will take no more than 15 minutes. As for the baking time in the oven, this can be approximately 20 or 30 minutes.

It is always good to start a few minutes before, in case something unforeseen arises.

1. Peel the potatoes, wash them, dry them and cut them into thin slices.
2. Fry these potato slices in plenty of oil until golden brown. Put them aside for later.
3. Remove the crust from the bacon to make it clean.
4. We prepare the chicken breast fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Spread 4 chicken fillets on a flat surface and add a few strips of bacon and cheese. Cover each chicken fillet with another fillet on top. Try applying a little pressure to make it compact.
6. Place the fries in a baking dish. On top of them we place the breasts. Add to this the lemon juice and sprinkle with a little chopped parsley.
7. Preheat the oven to 200 ° C. Insert the tray with the breasts and the baked potatoes and bake for 25-30 minutes. 

Some recommendations

Of course you can fill the breasts with what you like the most. We leave you here a list of some of the best fillings that you can use to enrich your plate:
