Potato and Cheese stuffed Chicken

I saw this recipe in some site and really found it interesting. The recipe had only cheese in stuffing but I tried it with cheese as well as potato. Next time I would try it with more stuffing like mushroom and shrimp. But till then here is the recipe which made my Friday evening a happening one.

Ingredients:

• Chicken breasts            - 2, skinless, boneless
• Potato                          - 1 medium sized, long thin sliced
• Parmesan cheese          - 2 Tbsp, shredded
• Mozzarella cheese         - 5 Tbsp, shredded
• Tomato sauce               - 1 cup
• Sriracha hot chili sauce - 1 Tbsp
• All purpose flour           - half cup
• Eggs                             - 2
• Bread crumbs               - half cup
• Chilli flakes                  - As per taste
• Salt                              - As per taste
• Oil                               - 4 Tbsp

Method:

1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with kitchen towel.

2. With a sharp knife cut pockets into the chicken breasts.

3. Rub salt to all the open surfaces of chicken(you can also apply some chilli powder if you want to make it hot)

4. Mix salt into potato and place inside the chicken pockets. Keep some for later use.(To get a better result, sauté the potato before adding it in this step)
5. Put some sriracha sauce.(Or any hot sauce)

 6. Add 2 Tbsp of mozzarella cheese in each pocket.

7. Seal the edges of the pockets by pressing with your fingers.
8. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Take flour and bread crumps in separate bowls.
9. Dip the stuffed chicken into flour and shake off the excess.

10. Dip the floured chicken into egg and then into bread crumbs coating it evenly.
11. Heat oil in a pan. When hot add the chicken pieces. Fry in medium heat till brownish from both the sides. Take care that the stuffing do not come out while frying them.

12. Remove chicken pieces from pan.

13. In a baking tray spread tomato sauce and the remaining potato pieces.
14. Place the chicken on top.
15. Sprinkle parmesan cheese and the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.

16. Preheat the oven at 350°F.
17. Put the baking tray in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. A little longer for a little crispier.
18. Remove from oven and serve with sides of your choice. I had it with green salad and garlic French toast.
