Mushroom Melt Stuffed Chicken
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 pound button mushrooms, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 12 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 12 slices Black Forest ham
- 2 cups shredded Havarti-pepper cheese
- 24 slices bacon
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion and mushrooms with salt and pepper until the mushrooms are dark and juicy, about 5 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in the bread crumbs.
- Set aside.
- Place each chicken breast half between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface.
- Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Lay a flattened chicken breast out onto a work surface, and place a slice of ham on the chicken.
- Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the mushroom stuffing onto the chicken breast, and top with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the Havarti cheese.
- Roll the chicken breast around the stuffing, wrap 2 slices of bacon firmly around each roll, and secure with toothpicks.
- Place the rolls into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink and the stuffing is melted and hot, about 35 minutes.
- An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a roll should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove the chicken rolls from the oven, and place an oven rack about 6 inches from the oven's broiler heat source.
- Turn on the broiler, and broil the rolls until the bacon is brown, 5 to 10 more minutes.
