Quickly searing the chicken in a hot pan on the stove top gives a golden brown exterior and speeds up roasting time as well — a chef's trick that anyone can use.
Ingredients
Preparation
In shallow dish, combine cornmeal, flour, herb seasoning, salt and pepper; set aside.
With sharp knife held horizontally, cut chicken almost but not all the way through; open like book. Sprinkle 1 side of each breast with one-quarter of the cheese; sprinkle with one-quarter of the olives. Fold uncovered side over; secure edge with skewer or toothpicks.
Brush chicken all over with half of the oil; dip into cornmeal mixture, turning and pressing to coat evenly.
In ovenproof skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken on 1 side. Turn chicken; bake in 425°F (220°C) oven for about 15 minutes or until golden and no longer pink inside.
