Chicken

4 skinless boneless chicken breasts

Butterfly each chicken breast.  To butterfly, slice into the thick side of the breast and cut towards the thin point, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side.  You should be able to open the chicken breast (resembling the shape of a butterfly).

Divide the cream cheese mixture into your 4 chicken breasts, spreading out to cover, and fold the breast closed.

Roll each breast in flour, dip each stuffed breast carefully in the egg mixture and then roll in your bread-crumb mixture.

Place on baking sheet and bake in the oven for 30-45 minutes (time will vary based on the size of chicken breast).
store leftovers tightly wrapped with plastic wrap or in glass storage container. freezes well.
