June Wine Night – Pecan Crusted Stuffed Chicken

In June it was my turn to host wine night for a group of friends and one day I happened to be watching food network and decided I was going to do the recipe I saw and I have to say I was pretty impressed with how it turned out! So here’s the menu: Pecan-crusted stuffed chicken with a side of parmesan asparagus. Here’s the link to the recipe and I highly recommend giving it a try.

Ingredients

  1. Four 8- to 10-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  2. Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper

  3. 4 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled

  4. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus sprigs for garnish

  5. 1 teaspoon grated orange zest

  6. 2 eggs

  7. 2/3 cup dried breadcrumbs

  8. 2/3 cup ground pecans

  9. Coconut oil spray

To save time I pounded all the chicken over the weekend and froze it until mid-week, stuffed everything the night before, and waited to bread everything till right before cooking. And ya know having the ingredients in bowls for large production actually works out really nice!

I had my bread crumbs ready to go so when I came home from work I just mixed up the egg mixture and got to breading!

The asparagus was super easy: lay it out on a pan, pour some olive oil and sprinkle on the parmesan! It baked at 400, the same as the chicken, for 15 min. I’m Totally forgot to take a pic before serving but I got lots of compliments and poor Mace had no left overs! Guess I’ll just have to make this yummy dish again!!
