Instead of using pimiento cheese as a sandwich filling, try using it as a filling for skillet-cooked chicken breasts.
The traditional pimiento cheese recipes call for the classic Southern spread served on toast or in a simple sandwich. By stuffing the tangy pimento cheese spread into chicken breasts, you dress up a classic recipe without adding much work at all. The impressive-looking results of stuffed chicken breasts belie the ease of preparation. You can stuff them up to a day ahead, keep refrigerated, and then simply cook and serve. This is a super simple makeover to a weeknight chicken dinner.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 350°.
Cook bacon in a large ovenproof skillet until crisp. Remove bacon, reserving drippings in pan; crumble bacon. Combine bacon, next 6 ingredients, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut a 1-inch-wide slit into the thick end of each breast half; carefully cut down to the center of chicken to form a deep pocket. Divide cheese mixture evenly among pockets. Secure with wooden picks. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Heat pan over medium-high heat. Add oil to drippings. Add chicken to pan; saute 4 minutes. Turn chicken over. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes; let stand for 5 minutes.
