Ingredients:

Serving

1 large egg
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
9 tbsp dry garlic
1/2-3/4 cup shredded gruyere cheese (or your favorite )
4 bone-in skinless chicken breast halves (about 2 1/2 lb)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450*F.
Coat a shallow roasting pan with a little bit of olive oil.
In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg with the salt and pepper.
Place 1/2 cup of the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the cheese with the remaining breadcrumbs.
Using a small, sharp knife, cut a pocket into the thickest portion of each breast half; separate the pockets, one by one, and fill each with 2 Tbsp. of the cheese mixture.
Smooth the outside edge of each breast to seal.
Dip the stuffed breasts, one at a time, into the egg, then the breadcrumbs, lightly pressing the crumbs into the chicken; place in the roasting pan.
Brush the chicken with a little bit of additional olive oil.
Bake until crispy, browned, and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, 20-25 minutes.
