Chicken breast can be prepared in a way that retains all the juiciness, flavor and aroma of the meat. In this recipe, the chicken is essentially stuffed with cheese and baked in the oven.

Instructions
Cut a pocket into the thickest side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Divide the cheese into roughly equal portions and stuff into the pockets of each breast. Secure the openings with toothpicks to prevent cheese from leaking during cooking. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten egg mixed with black pepper, and one with breadcrumbs. Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, then roll in breadcrumbs until fully coated. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and fry the breaded chicken until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes total, flipping halfway. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). Serve immediately.
Bon appetit!
