Barbecue Cheddar Hasselback Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
• Make cuts 1/2 inch apart on each chicken breast from top to almost bottom, forming pockets, being careful not to cut all the way through.
• Sprinkle barbecue seasoning all over chicken. Cut bacon slices into thirds to make 6 pieces. Cut Cheddar slices into fourths to make 12 pieces.
• Alternate placing cheese and bacon pieces into each slit in chicken. Add extra cheese or bacon to slits if there is any left.
• Bake uncovered about 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Make 8 crosswise cuts along each chicken breast, slicing two-thirds of the way through (be careful not to cut all the way through; see Cook's Note). Transfer the breasts to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and pour the Italian Herb & Garlic Dressing over them.
• Fill the first slit on each breast with 1 half-moon slice of fresh tomato and a couple pieces of sun-dried tomato. Fill the next slit with 1 piece of cheese. Fill the remaining slits on each breast, alternating between the tomatoes and cheese.
• Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm with a green salad.

Steps:

• Cook the spinach on a medium heat in a splash of oil for 3-5 minutes until it is slightly wilted.
• Stir in the ricotta and cook for a further 30-60 seconds. Allow to cool.
• Cut slits into the chicken breasts about 1cm (½ inch) apart but don't cut all the way through - about 75% of the way down is what you should aim for.
• Stuff all of the spinach and ricotta mixture into the slits.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Grate the cheddar and sprinkle it generously on top.
• Shake the ground paprika over the chicken to add some colour and flavour.
• Bake in the centre of a pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes 400°F (200°C) until the cheese has melted and the juices are clear.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, nonstick skillet.
• Toss in the mushrooms and season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Sauté until the mushrooms have started to darken in color.
• Place the spinach on top of the mushrooms and toss until the greens have wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Set the spinach mixture aside.
• Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Using a sharp knife, make vertical cuts, about half an inch apart, making sure not to cut all the way through the chicken.
• Transfer the chicken to a greased roasting pan.
• Stuff the spinach mixture into the cuts of the chicken breasts. Season with paprika and top with a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400°F (200°C), until the cheese has melted and the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (72°C).
• Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cover Chicken breasts with bar-b-q sauce and bake until done, usually about 15-30 minutes in a 350 degree oven (I don't pay attention to the time too much) When chicken is done pour on more sauce, add bacon strips to cover the breasts and cover with cheddar cheese, return to oven until cheese melts.
• Add sliced green onions and serve.
