Ingredients
4 chicken breast halves, boneless & skinless
1 bottle (12 ounce size) Lawry's Lemon Pepper Marinade
1 cup crab meat
4 medium mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
8 tablespoons shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese mixture
4 slices bacon
2 slices (sandwich-size) Swiss or Mozzarella cheese
2 slices (sandwich-size) American cheese
lemon pepper
seasoned salt
Directions Butterfly cut each chicken breast, leaving the halves attached. Place them in one-half of the marinade sauce and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.
Remove the marinated breasts and lay them open on a flat surface. Discard the excess used marinade. Sprinkle each breast with lemon pepper and seasoned salt to taste.
Spread the crab meat over the asparagus on each breast. Evenly distribute mushroom and onion slices on top of chicken. On top of the slices, sprinkle one tablespoon of shredded cheese.
Fold over the remaining breast half onto the mixture to form a "sandwich." Wrap one slice of bacon around each "sandwich" and place them in a 12-inch Dutch oven. Pour one-half of the remaining unused marinade sauce over the chicken.
Cook at about 350 degrees F (8-10 charcoal briquettes under the oven and 16-18 on top) for about 45 minutes or until done. Maintain an even cooking temperature by rotating the oven between the layers of charcoal every 10 to 15 minutes. Do this by turning the oven 90 degrees in one direction and then rotating the lid back 90 degrees. While the chicken is cooking, cut each slice of cheese along both diagonals to create four triangles. When the chicken is done, carefully remove each piece and place it on a serving platter. On top of each chicken breast, arrange four cheese triangles in alternating layers presenting a colorful "V" or chevron pattern. The heat from the chicken will melt the cheese slices.
Serve with Creamy Pomegranate Fruit Salad and Green Beans
