ingredients
Bread Mixture
1 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Egg Mixture
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon Texas Pete or Tabasco hot sauce(optional)
Filling
7 slices bacon
3 slices muenster cheese
3 slices provolone cheese
3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cook bacon in a cast iron skillet (if you don't have one just use a regular frying pan).
While the bacon is cooking, mix together the bread crumbs and seasonings. In a separate bowl, mix together the hot sauce and eggs.
When the bacon is done, chop it up, then fold the muenster cheese slices into quarters to break it up. Split the chicken to stuff it or you can purchase them already split.
Layer 2 pieces of muenster cheese, some bacon (make sure not to use all of the bacon), and 2 more pieces of muenster cheese in the split you made in the chicken. Then dip the chicken in the egg mixture and then into the bread crumb mixture.
Place the chicken into the frying pan where you cooked the bacon. Brown both sides of the chicken.
Place the pan and the chicken into the oven and cook until the internal temperature is at least 165 degrees F (about 20-25 minutes).
Top each piece of chicken with one piece of provolone cheese and cook until melted and bubbly.
Top with remaining bacon.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
