2 Prepare the Chicken
Pat chicken dry.
Want a shortcut? Skip cutting and stuffing. Reserve filling, season chicken, and skip to step 3.Place chicken on a clean cutting board. Hold knife blade parallel to the board and carefully make a lengthwise cut through the center of the meat, using your free hand to steady meat. Stop short of opposite edge of chicken so chicken remains in one piece. Open chicken as you would a book.Divide filling evenly between chicken, placing in center. Fold chicken in half over filling. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. -
3 Cook the Chicken
Place a medium oven-safe non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and cook until browned, 2-4 minutes on one side.
Remove from burner. Flip chicken. If you skipped stuffing in step 2, top chicken evenly with filling.Top evenly with remaining shredded cheese.Transfer pan to hot oven and roast until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 10-12 minutes.Carefully remove from oven. Pan handle will be hot! Use an oven mitt.While chicken cooks, continue recipe. -
4 Toast the Panko
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.
Add panko to hot pan and toast until lightly browned, 1-2 minutes.Remove from burner. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Wipe pan clean and reserve. -
