Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

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.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
