Crispy Hawaiian Chicken Breast Filled With Ham, Cheese & Pineapple
You've heard of Hawaiian pizza and Hawaiian toast, but what about Hawaiian chicken? Why wouldn't you want to take the best parts of those dishes and add them to chicken breast?! Fruity pineapple, juicy ham, and creamy cheese stuffed inside of a crunchy breaded chicken fillet will elevate your dinner to a whole new level.
You'll Need (for 2):
- 2 chicken breasts
- 6 oz flour
- 2 whisked eggs
- 6 oz bread crumbs
For the filling:
- 1 slice of ham
- 2 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 pineapple slice
- 3 tbsp béchamel sauce
- 3 oz shredded mozzarella
Extra:
- 1 lb potatoes
- béchamel sauce
Here's How:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slit the chicken breasts down the middle and dredge the fillets in flour, whisked eggs, and bread crumbs. Place the breaded chicken on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
2. Cut a thick pineapple slice in half to create two fine slices and place one slice in the slit section of each chicken breast.
3. Place two slices of Swiss cheese on one large slice of ham, roll it up, and cut it in half.
4. Place one ham and cheese roll on each pineapple slice, drizzle béchamel sauce over it, and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
5. Peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes, place the pieces on the pan next to the chicken, drizzle some olive oil on top, and season with salt. Slide the pan into the oven and cook for 40 minutes. Garnish the Hawaiian chicken breasts with fresh chopped parsley and serve with the cubed potatoes.
We can't get enough of this pineapple chicken with ham and cheese! And as much as we love the added flair of these special ingredients, the real highlight has got to be the crunchy breading and the tender meat — aloha, indeed!
