A delightful twist on a classic chicken dish, featuring a cheesy herb stuffing and a crispy breadcrumb coating.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Always preheat the oven to ensure even cooking.
Slice a pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast.
Be careful not to cut through the chicken completely.
Stuff each pocket with a mix of soft cheese, parsley, and thyme.
Press the edges of the chicken to seal the stuffing inside.
Beat the eggs with garlic powder and paprika in a bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Dip the stuffed chicken breasts into the egg mixture, then coat with breadcrumbs.
Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken for a better coating.
Place the coated chicken in a foil-lined baking dish and bake on the lower rack for 30 minutes.
Use foil to make cleanup easier.
Spread tomato sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Ensure the sauce covers the chicken evenly.
Return the dish to the oven on a higher rack and bake for another 15 minutes.
Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a touch of color.
