This sounds good, Jessica. I'll have to add this one to my stack of "yardbird" recipes!
Thanks!!

Jessica, I made this last night for dinner and OMG was it good! I had my doubts about it since my husband normally does not like sauces that are cream based - it usually HAS to be tomato based. But he loved it!! Said the only thing wrong with it was that I didn't make enough!! Thanks for sharing!

Since my family calls me "Yardbird Queen", I'll share a few of my favorite chicken recipes...
This is one from Taste of Home recipes

MOIST GARLIC CHICKEN

2 cloves garlic - minced
1 tsp garlic powder
1/3 cup melted butter
1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt, optional
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup shredded cheddar - the finely shredded works better
2 Tblsp grated Parmesan
Pepper
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

In shallow bowl, combine butter, garlic, garlic powder & salt
In another bowl, combine bread crumbs, cheeses & pepper
Dip chicken in butter mixture, then coat with crumb mixture.
Place in 9 X 13 baking dish coated with Pam.

The crispy coating is so good and actually stays on the chicken.

Grilled Stuffed Chicken Breasts - serves 4

 

4 6-8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8 sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)

8 large fresh basil leaves

4 ounces creamy goat cheese

Coarse salt and black pepper

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (pour into small prep bowl)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

8 toothpicks (place in the oil until needed)

 

1. Cut goat cheese into 8 slices (unflavored dental floss works well to cut it)
2. Trim breast, rinse, blot dry.  Cut pocket in breast (do not cut all the way through).
3. Stuff each breast with 2 slices of goat cheese, 2 sun-dried tomatoes, and 2 leaves of basil.
4. Pin breasts shut with oiled toothpicks.
5. Place breasts in a baking dish (not metal) and season with salt and pepper (turning to season both sides)
6. Poor the oil and lemon juice over the breasts and let marinate, turning once or twice, while you preheat the grill.
7. Set the grill up for direct grilling and preheat to high.
8. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate.
9. Arrange the breasts on the hot grate, all facing same direction, at a 45 degree angle to the grill bars of the grate.
10. Grill for 4-6 minues per side, rotating the breasts 90 degrees after 2 minutes on each side to create cross-hatch grill pattern.
11. Test for doneness (poke thickist part with your finger - it should feel firm to the touch.
12. Transfer to plates or a platter, remove toothpicks, and serve.

If the breasts are really large (thick), I will use more goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and basil.  Adjust grilling time and also grill on closed end (standing up).

I have used cream cheese before, used prosciutto instead of sun-dried tomatoes.  Use your imagination.
