Ingredients:
- 6 boneless chicken breast halves
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 6 slices Canadian bacon
- 6 slices tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 6 English muffins
Instructions:
-
Prepare Chicken: Place the boneless chicken breast halves in a heavy-duty plastic bag and pound them to 1/4 inch thickness.
-
Coat Chicken: In a shallow dish, combine flour, paprika, and pepper. Coat each chicken breast with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
-
SautΓ© Chicken: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and coat it with cooking spray. SautΓ© the chicken breasts until they are browned and the juices run clear, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep it warm.
-
Brown Canadian Bacon: In the same skillet, brown the Canadian bacon slices, turning them once. Once browned, remove them from the skillet and keep them warm.
-
Prepare Sauce: Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel. In the same skillet, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is heated through. Be careful not to let it boil.
-
Assemble Benedict: Preheat the broiler. Place the English muffin halves on a baking sheet. Top each half with a slice of Canadian bacon, a cooked chicken breast, a slice of tomato, and 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce.
-
Broil: Broil the assembled Benedict until the sauce is bubbly and lightly golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot. Princess Di’ Chicken Benedict is best enjoyed immediately, paired with your favorite side salad or crispy fries.
