Instructions

Cook bacon
1
  • Cut bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch strips.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add bacon.
  • Cook, flipping occasionally, until crispy, 5-7 min.** (TIP: Reduce heat to medium if bacon is browning too quickly!)
  • Remove the pan from heat.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
  • Reserve bacon fat in the pan.


Cook potatoes
2
  • Meanwhile, quarter potatoes.
  • Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl).
  • Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
  • Drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat.
  • Cover to keep warm.

Prep and stuff chicken
3
  • Meanwhile, combine breadcrumbs and 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil in a small bowl.
  • Combine cheddar cheese, cream cheese and bacon in a medium bowl. 
  • Carefully slice into the centre of each chicken breast, parallel to the cutting board, leaving 1/2 inch intact on the other end. 
  • Cover each chicken breast with plastic wrap. 
  • Using a mallet, rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pan, carefully pound each chicken breast until 1/2-inch thick. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Top one side of each chicken breast with bacon-cheese filling, then fold the other side over filling to enclose.
Cook chicken
4
  • Reheat the pan with reserved bacon fat (from step 1) over medium-high. 
  • When hot, add chicken. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; sear chicken in 2 batches, if needed.) Sear, keeping each breast closed, until golden, 2-3 min per side. 
  • Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. 
  • Spread Dijon over tops of chicken, then sprinkle with breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to adhere. 
  • Bake in the middle of oven until chicken is cooked through, 12-14 min.**
Prep and cook veggies
5
  • Meanwhile, cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
  • Thinly slice chives. Halve tomatoes.
  • Carefully discard any remaining bacon fat in the pan, then wipe clean. Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add broccoli, tomatoes and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook, tossing occasionally, until tomatoes soften and broccoli is tender-crisp, 5-6 min.
  • Remove from heat. Add half the chives, then toss to combine.
Finish and serve
6
  • Roughly mash sour cream, remaining chives, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) milk and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter into potatoes until slightly mashed. (NOTE: 'Smashed' potatoes will still have a few chunks!)
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Divide chicken, mash and veggies between plates.
