Stuffed & baked Chicken Breast

I always love to experiment with food n dishes, Good or Bad don't know but i have habit not to follow every recipe as it is (hardly i follow any actually i don't remember recipes). Well i love to give twist and add something new in it. This is one of them.
Here i added juicy corn with Parmesan Cheese in filling with squeezed orange juice.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes   |   Cooking Time: 25-30 minutes   |   Serves: 6 servings

Ingredients:

1. Boneless skinless chicken breasts - 500 gm
2. Chicken mince - 100 gm
3. Parmesan cheese - 4 tb spoon
4. Dry Rosemary - 1/2 tea spoon
5. Sweet Corn - 2 tb spoon
6. Onion - 1 medium size
7. Garlic cloves - 5- 6
8. Red Chilli power - 2 tea spoon
9. Roasted cumin and coriander power - 1 tea spoon
10. Salt - to taste  
11. Black peper
12. Coriander leaf
13. Lemon - 1
14. Half Orange
15. Canola Oil or any other Oil- 2 Tb spoon

 

Method:  

Wash the chicken breast with fresh water and tap with tissue paper to absorb the excess water.

Cut the uneven sides from chicken breast to make chicken mince.  

Marinate the chicken breast with lemon, salt and 1/2 spoon of chilli power. Keep
in refrigerator for 1/2 hour to 1 hour.

To start with Pound the chicken breast. 

Tip: Chill your boneless chicken breasts for at least 30 minutes before starting the pounding process. Chilling will make the meat easier to handle and will help it to maintain its firmness.

To Pound the Chicken Breast, place the chicken breast in large plastic bag or cling film. Pound chicken with the side of a meat mallet, rolling pin or heavy can until chicken is 1/4-inch thick. 

I dont have meat mallet but i am having wooden hammer from my daughter's toy store (yyyeeeeeee) so i am using that.

Remove chicken from plastic and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.

For filling:

In the mean time make chicken mince. Chop the onion and garlic.

In a pan, add the 1 tb spoon oil, once it heats up add the chopped garlic and saute till become light brownish. Add chopped onions and saute till it is translucent.

Add chicken mince fry for 1 min then add sweet corn, salt, red chilli powder, black pepper, rosemary and roasted cumin and coriander powder. Squeeze half orange juice in it.

Saute for 1 min and add 1 1/2 spoon of Parmesan cheese then take off the pan from flames. Do not cook mince too much other wise it will become heard.

Our filling is ready. 

Fill the pound chicken breast with moderate amount of mince filling and Sprinkle Parmesan cheese about 1 spoon center of each chicken breast.

 

Now Roll up the chicken and secure with thread and tooth pick. 

Place the chickens in a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 220 center rack for 20- 25 minutes. Brush oil over chicken. Bake 5-10 min more if you feel its not done.

 

 

Chicken is baked completely. Don't over cook otherwise it will become hard n chicken will loss his moisture. 

 

Cut the chicken in inch thick pieces and serve with any salad.

 

 

 

You can make different filling for this like Mushroom, Cottage cheese, Vegetables etc.

Here i used Parmesan cheese coz i like the flavour of this cheese but you can
use any other Cheese.
