Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully cut a slit in the side of each chicken breast half with a sharp knife.
- Fill each slit with slices of Jack cheese until comfortably full.
- Secure the openings with toothpicks to prevent cheese from melting out during cooking.

- Roll each stuffed chicken breast in unbleached flour, coating heavily.
- Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a layer of cream cheese along with the Jack cheese. If you don't have Jack cheese, mozzarella is a great substitute. Be cautious when securing the chicken with toothpicks; ensure they are removed before serving. If you're looking for lighter options, browse more low-fat chicken recipes to complement your meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare this dish in advance?

Can I freeze the Chicken Supreme?
