Butter Flied Chicken Stuffed Food

GARLIC BUTTER STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine all Lemon Garlic Butter ingredients and mash them together a fork. It takes about 2 minutes of mashing for the lemon juice to incorporate into the butter.
• Using a sharp knife, cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise, keeping both halves equal thickness and size. Cut a slit into each chicken breast to create a pocket about 2"wide by 3" long or as large as you can get it without cutting through the chicken breast.*
• Place 1 Tbsp of the butter filling into each chicken pocket then close to seal and push over the top of the chicken breast to disperse butter. Pinch the opening to seal then season both sides of stuffed chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
• Set up 3 plates for breading: In the first plate, pour 1/2 cup flour. In the second large bowl, beat together 2 eggs. In the third large bowl, pour 2 cups panko crumbs. Dredge stuffed chicken in flour, shaking off excess then dip in beaten egg, allowing excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Finally, dip chicken into bread crumbs, turning to coat well. Transfer breaded chicken to a large platter or baking sheet.
• Heat a large, deep, heavy bottomed pan or dutch oven over medium heat and add 1/4" light olive oil. Once oil is hot (350˚F or sizzling when a bread crumb is added), place breaded chicken into the oil in 2 batches so chicken is not crowded and sautee 4 minutes per side, carefully turning with a spatula.** Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel lined plate.
• To serve: sprinkle lightly with salt if desired, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges to squeeze fresh lemon juice over chicken.

AIR FRIED BUTTERFLIED STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• 1. Using a very sharp knife, butterfly the chicken breasts by starting to cut at one side but don't cut the entire way through. Open the butterflied chicken (like a book).
• 2. Sprinkle a little salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Montreal Steak seasoning on both sides of the butterflied chicken, but don't overdo it.
• 3. On the right half, put a layer of the shredded cheese. On top of the cheese, put a layer of the broccoli florets, laying them tightly together, side by side. On top of the broccoli florets, put a light layer of the shredded cheese.
• 4. Carefully lift the left side of the butterflied chicken and cover the right side with the left side (as though you were closing a book.)
• 5. Using 5 or 6 toothpicks, "skewer" the chicken breasts through the upper layer of chicken down through the lower layer of chicken, all around the edges, to close them nice and tight.
• 6. Lightly season (to taste) the top of each chicken bundle with a little more salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Montreal Steak seasoning.
• 7. Roll each bundle of chicken, both top and bottom in a little flour, just enough to coat it. Then spray each side with olive oil cooking spray.
• 8. Place the chicken bundles inside the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 356 (or as close to that as yours allows) and set it for 25 minutes. Press "start." At the halfway point, open the air fryer and turn the bundles over to the other side and resume cooking.
• 9. (I did remove mine from the air fryer when it had 2 minutes left on the timer because I felt that they were completely done at that point, but you can let it go the entire time.)
• 10. Remove chicken from the air fryer and place on the plate, remove toothpicks. Drizzle just a little ranch dressing over top of each bundle and enjoy!!!
• 11. ***Tip: Be careful how you season the outside of this recipe. This recipe is to be seasoned from the inside "out" rather than from the outside "in". So, go easy on the outer seasonings.

BUTTERFLIED ROAST CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking pan with aluminum foil. Place a rack on top of foil.
• Rub olive oil on both sides of chicken and generously season with salt and black pepper. Arrange lemon slices and rosemary on the rack and place chicken, skin-side up, onto the rack.
• Roast in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 55 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Transfer chicken to a serving platter and tent a piece of aluminum foil over it. Discard lemon and rosemary and remove rack.
• Pour wine into the baking pan and gently loosen the bits of food in the pan with a wooden spoon, being careful not to tear the foil. Strain pan juices into a saucepan and bring to a boil; cook until sauce is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Spoon sauce over chicken.
