INGREDIENTS

  • Protein

    • 4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    • 8 slices bacon
    • 8 thin slices Swiss cheese, cut in half
  • Vegetables

    • 1 (16 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • Liquid & Dairy

    • 1 (12 ounce bottle) apple ale, such as Red's®, divided
    • 1 cup milk
    • ⅓ cup salted butter
  • Seasoning

    • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • Binding

    • 🥚 2 large eggs
    • 1 ½ cups dry bread crumbs
  • Thickener

    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch, divided

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place chicken in the freezer until slightly frozen, about 15 minutes.

2

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and cut in half when cool.

3

Add mushrooms and garlic to the bacon fat and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes.

4

Mix 1/2 of the ale with 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to the mushroom mixture; cook and stir until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

5

Combine milk and butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook until butter melts and mixture is warm. Mix remaining beer with remaining cornstarch in a small bowl; add to the milk mixture along with chicken bouillon. Cook and stir until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and combine with mushroom mixture.

6

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a casserole dish with parchment paper.

7

Place eggs in a pie plate and mix with a fork until beaten. Place bread crumbs in a separate pie plate. Remove chicken from the freezer and cut a pocket into each breast. Stuff with bacon and Swiss cheese. Immediately dip in beaten egg mixture, then dredge in bread crumbs. Place in the prepared casserole dish.

8

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

9

Warm the cream sauce on the stove and plate the chicken with sauce ladled over each portion just before serving.
