Jäger Chicken

Sorry for the delay, I know many of you have been asking and waiting for this; so without further ado… Jäger Chicken

You will need the following:

4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts

¼ pound of crumbled bacon

1 cup crumbled bri cheese

½ cup chopped pecans

½ cup or so of Baren Jäger; a mead made from honey from Germany. The bottle features a medieval hunter and a bear, and is wrapped in a basket.

Brown sugar

Rosemary

Black pepper

Onion

Butter

  • Rub chicken with rosemary and black pepper. Place in a bowl and cover with Baren Jäger and a few slices of onion. Allow to sit refrigerated over night.
  • Rub chicken in brown sugar.
  • In a frying pan heat butter and a few splashes of Baren Jäger. Fry chicken.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • In a bowl combine bri cheese, pecans, and fried crumbled bacon.
  • Slice chicken breasts partially through across their width. Stuff chicken with cheese mixture and fasten close with a tooth pick.
  • Splash chicken with Baren Jäger, cover and place in oven at 300 degrees until cheese is melted.
  • Serve hot.
