Chicken breast pockets with cheese
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Chicken breast pockets offer a whole field for experimentation. People fill chicken pockets with all sorts of ingredients! But my favorite filling is cheese, herbs, and garlic. As a result, the dish turns out wonderfully aromatic. Chicken breast, which is often very difficult to cook so that it remains juicy and tender, turns out exactly like that with this recipe. The finished dish is ready to be served.

Step 3
Insert pieces of cheese into the slits (by the way, you can use several types of cheese—this will make it even more delicious), along with garlic slices and chopped herbs—use any herbs you like: dill, parsley, lettuce, spinach. Secure the slit with a toothpick so the cheese doesn't leak out during cooking. Season the top of the chicken breast with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare all the breading ingredients: place breadcrumbs and flour into separate plates, and beat the egg in a small bowl. Dip the chicken pockets first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally into the breadcrumbs.
