How to Make Camembert Chicken

  1. Cut a pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  2. Fill each pocket with 30g of Camembert cheese, cut into small pieces.
  3. In a shallow dish, mix 1/2 cup all-purpose flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Coat each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, gently pressing to adhere, ensuring the stuffing remains inside.
  5. In another shallow dish, whisk 2 large eggs.
  6. Dip each floured chicken breast into the whisked egg.
  7. In a third shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
  8. Coat each egg-dipped chicken breast thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  11. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  12. Place the chicken breasts on the prepared tray.
  13. Lightly spray with olive oil or drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  14. Bake for 15 minutes.
  15. Turn the chicken breasts over and bake for a further 5 minutes, or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 74°C/165°F).
