Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
8 basil sprigs
4 slices fresh mozzarella
4 slices cooked pancetta or bacon
2 egg whites
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a rack on a sheet pan and spray it with olive oil spray. Cut through the thick side of each chicken breast to create a pocket. Into each pocket press two basil sprigs, a slice of mozzarella and a slice of pancetta or bacon (folded in half to fit if necessary).

In a medium bowl, stir together the crumb mixture. In another bowl, lightly beat egg whites. Add garlic, salt and pepper. Dip stuffed chicken breasts into egg white mixture; then press into crumb mixture, coating thoroughly. (At this point, the breasts may be placed on a cookie tray and frozen until almost solid; wrap in aluminum foil to store.) Set the chicken on the rack; bake for 25 minutes until the crumbs are golden brown and chicken is cooked all the way through. Serve immediately, accompanied with fresh lemon wedges.
