Chicken-Schmicken 2 (or Wendy's Superb Chicken)


I must confess: you already know we eat a lot of chicken. So I'm always looking for new chicken recipes. Even if I have to make them up myself. So this particular one I thought of when I recently saw a recipe for Chicken Kiev. Though I love melted butter, I thought I might be a bit much, so I replaced it with mozzarella cheese. Probably not much better for you, but definitely less messy!

I started off with two chicken breasts and pounded out my days frustrations on them until they looked like this

The I breaded them with egg and plain breadcrumbs like so

The I pan fried them until they got that crunchy look, which doesn't take long when they are pounded out so thin.

I added pesto and mozzarella cheese like so

and then folded them over, secured them with toothpicks and added more cheese on top. I got a thing for cheese, OK?

Baked them in the oven for 15 minutes at 400 and the husband called them superb.

So I'm calling it Wendy's Superb Chicken!


Happy Cooking!
Wendy
