We typically just roast a whole chicken in the slow-cooker or rotisserie style and make broth with the bones, but occasionally I’ll splurge on organic & free range chicken breast and this is one of my go-to recipes.

This is a mixture of chicken cordon bleu and baked chicken. I included instructions in the recipe for making this with loaded cauliflower (like loaded baked potato, but better!), so it is a complete meal in 2 pans and 1 hour! If you don’t want the loaded cauliflower, just leave off the ingredients starting with cauliflower.

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
4 slices of ham
4 slice of cheese of choice optional
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp basil
6 slices bacon
2 bags frozen cauliflower
sprinkle of salt and pepper
4 oz cheese shredded (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Slice each chicken breast almost in half, leaving a small amount connected around one outside edge to make a pocket.
Roll a slice of ham around each slice of cheese if using, and stuff it into the pocket in the chicken.
Place in a well greased (I suggest butter) baking dish and top with spices.
Bake chicken in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour until chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a large stove and oven safe pan, cook the bacon on the stove until slightly crispy.
Remove the bacon, leaving bacon fat in the pan.
Add the bags of frozen cauliflower to the pan sprinkle it with a little salt and pepper.
Let it defrost/cook on medium low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Chop the bacon slices and sprinkle over the cauliflower, covering evenly.
Put the pan with the cauliflower and bacon into the oven for 15-20 minutes (remainder of chicken cooking time) and top with cheese if desired 5-10 minutes before both are done.
Remove both from the oven and enjoy!
