Cream Cheese & Cheddar Stuffed Chicken

THIS PICTURE IS NOT MINE! I found it on allrecipes.com.
mine is a lot messier ;)



Ok, so I found this recipe on Pinterest and I just HAD to try it out! Its breaded chicken stuffed with 2 types of cheeses topped with a lemon-garlic butter sauce. How could that not turn out amazing!?
Heres what you will need:
 (Serves 8)

 Ingredients:

1. Oil (for greasing the pan)
2. 8 Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
3.  1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices
4. 1 (8 ounce) package of cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices
5. 1 Cup of milk (we always get 2%)
6. 1 1/2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
7. 1/2 tsp Garlic salt (I didnt use the measurement, I just did what felt right :)
8. 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
9. 3/4 cup butter (melted)
10. 1 Tablespoon minced garlic

 Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a large shallow baking dish with oil
( You may need to use more than one pan if you plan on making 8. I made 3 in a 9 x 13 if that gives you an idea)

2. Butterfly each breast by slicing in half horizontally through the center, cutting almost but not completely through. Place one slice each of Cheddar and cream cheese in the center of each breast. Close again as if placing between the pages of a book. Set aside.

3.  Pour milk into a shallow bowl. Pour breadcrumbs in a separate bowl. Carefully dip each breast first in milk, then in breadcrumbs, patting lightly to coat. Place breasts side by side in a single layer in pre-oiled baking dish, tucking edges under to seal.

4.  Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in lemon juice and garlic, and drizzle evenly over chicken. Season breasts with garlic salt.

5.  Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until no longer pink in center and juices run clear.
you absolutly NEVER want to eat pink chicken so if you see pink dont be afraid to leave them in the oven longer (ive had to double the cooking time before because we got some especially thick breasts)

And you're done! a great side to this dish is green beans or peas. easy and simple :)
keep in mind that the cheese may leak out of the chicken a bit. That's Ok! even if they aren't perfectly beautiful it will taste like absolute heaven!
