Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes     Breaded

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 13

¾ pound bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons sour cream
⅛ tablespoon dried oregano
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup dry bread crumbs
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), chopped
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned but still soft. Reserve the bacon grease in the skillet, and cool the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cool, mix the bacon together with the feta cheese, 3 tablespoons of sour cream, oregano, and black pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Lay a chicken breast flat onto your work surface. Use the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife to cut a 2-inch pocket in the chicken breast. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Spoon the bacon mixture into the pockets. Pour the flour, egg, and bread crumbs into separate, shallow dishes. Gently press the chicken breasts into the flour to coat. Dip each into the beaten egg, then press into bread crumbs.
  • Reheat the bacon grease over medium heat. Brown the chicken breasts on both sides in the hot fat, about 2 minutes per side. Reserve the bacon grease in the pan. Place the breasts on a baking dish, and bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink and the filling is hot, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, cook the onion in the remaining bacon grease over medium heat until very tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Once the potatoes are done, mash together with the onion, butter, and remaining 3 tablespoons of sour cream. Serve the chicken breasts accompanied by the mashed potatoes.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 links pork sausage
English mustard, to serve
1 1/2 lbs onions, sliced thinly
1 pinch sugar

1/2 star anise
2 cloves
2 fresh bay leaves
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 ounces butter
2 -3 tablespoons milk
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Add the onions and sugar and cook over a low heat for 45 minutes, stirring now and then, until soft and richly caramelised.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir in the beer, beef broth, star anise, cloves and bay leaves and boil vigorously until reduced to a rich, glossy sauce - about 20 minutes in a large sauté pan.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use Yukon Gold potatoes. They have a naturally buttery flavor and hold their shape well when mashed.
  • To ensure the potatoes are cooked evenly, cut them into uniform-sized pieces. Smaller pieces will cook faster, so if you have a mix of sizes, remove the smaller pieces from the pot sooner.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender, but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become gummy.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. This will help to remove any lumps.

  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or fresh herbs.
  • For a crispy topping, sprinkle the mashed potatoes with grated Parmesan cheese or breadcrumbs before baking.
