Boneless Dill Chicken Breast With Dill Cream Cheese Recipe 435

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel lined plate to drain, leaving bacon grease in the skillet. Chop bacon when cool enough to handle. Add shallot to bacon grease in the skillet and cook over medium-low heat until caramelized, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a glass casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Place the tip of a sharp knife 1 inch from the top of a chicken breast. Cut a shallow slice lengthwise down the center, stopping 1 inch from the bottom. Cut shallow slices horizontally across the top and bottom of the slice. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
• Combine chopped bacon, caramelized shallot, ricotta cheese, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Stuff each chicken breast with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture and place in the prepared casserole dish.
• Cook in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and whisk to create a roux. Slowly pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly until smooth. Add in cream, lemon juice, white wine, and dill. Cook, stirring continuously, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Remove chicken from the oven. Pour sauce over chicken breasts, return to the oven, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler. Broil chicken until slightly golden, about 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Butterfly chicken breasts and set aside. In a food processor combine the dill and parsley and pulse until finely chopped. Reserve 1/4 cup of the herb mixture for spread, set aside.
• In a plastic bag set in a medium bowl, combine remaining herb mixture, half the lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste. Place chicken in a plastic bag, add marinade, seal, and massage to distribute marinade evenly on the chicken. Refrigerate 1 hour, flipping once halfway through.
• Meanwhile to make the herb spread, in a small bowl mix together remaining herb mixture, remaining lemon juice, lemon zest, sour cream, mayonnaise, pepperoncini, and salt and pepper, to taste.
• Preheat grill to medium-high. Remove chicken from bag being careful not to remove herbs. Season with salt and pepper and cook on grill, turning once, until juices run clear, approximately 6 minutes on each side. Remove to a cutting board and cut each breast in half.
• To assemble sandwich: cut ciabatta pieces in half horizontally, slather one side of bread with dill-pepperoncini spread. Place chicken on other slice, top with baby greens, and finish with the piece of bread covered with dill-pepperoncini sauce.

Steps:

• For Chicken & Marinade Combine all of the above for the marinade in a bowl with the chicken; cover and let sit in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Either grill the chicken on the bbq until the juices run clear or bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes or until juices run clear. Serve with lemon wedges and the dill dip. For the Dill Cream Cheese Side Dip Combine all of the above in a food processor and give a few good chops. Serve this dip with the chicken; also may be served with your favorite crackers, chips or veggies.
