Description

Indulge in a comforting soup and sandwich pairing, reimagined with a focus on wholesome ingredients. This recipe takes the familiar flavors of a BLT and transforms them into an innovative and satisfying meal. Imagine tender chicken breasts, generously filled with a flavorful mixture of crisp bacon, refreshing lettuce, and juicy tomato.

These stuffed delights are cooked until golden brown, offering a delightful contrast of textures – the slight crispness of the exterior giving way to a succulent and savory interior. A hint of mustard adds a tangy top note, enhancing the overall flavor profile. Alongside the chicken, savor a creamy and aromatic mushroom soup, carefully simmered to perfection.

The soup features the earthy notes of cremini mushrooms, their delicate flavor enhanced by the subtle sweetness of celery, the gentle bite of green onion, and a whisper of dill. These ingredients meld together into a velvety smooth texture, creating a comforting and deeply satisfying bowl. The soup's aroma alone is enough to evoke feelings of warmth and well-being.

This recipe is not only perfect for a satisfying lunch or dinner but also lends itself beautifully to meal preparation. The stuffed chicken breasts and the creamy mushroom soup can be prepared in advance and stored for enjoyment throughout the week. The components are easily portioned and reheated, making it a convenient choice for busy individuals.

While an air fryer is recommended for cooking the chicken, an oven also works wonderfully. Baking the stuffed chicken ensures it cooks evenly, while finishing it under a broiler creates a beautifully browned and appealing exterior. And if cremini mushrooms are not available, feel free to experiment with other varieties such as portobello or shiitake, each adding its unique depth of flavor to the soup.

Instructions

    1.
    Begin the soup by chopping the mushrooms, celery, and green onion. Since these ingredients will be blended later, a rough chop is sufficient. Melt the butter in a soup pot over low heat, then add the chopped vegetables. Stir to coat them in butter and season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Cover the pot and let the ingredients cook down on low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the celery is tender.
    2.
    Remove the lid and stir the ingredients in the pot. Add the cream cheese and stir until it's completely melted and coating the vegetables. Ensure the cream cheese is softened beforehand for easier melting. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine everything. Return the lid to the pot and bring the soup to a simmer.
    3.
    Simmer the soup, covered, until the celery is soft enough to break down easily. Once the vegetables are tender, remove the pot from the stove. Use an immersion blender or a standing blender to blend the soup until creamy and fairly thick, with small bits of mushroom still visible. Return the soup to the stove, stir in the chopped dill, and simmer uncovered until it reduces to approximately 1 cup per serving.
    4.
    While the soup is reducing, prepare the 6-ounce chicken breasts by patting them dry with paper towels and butterflying them. Leave the butterflied breasts in their original position instead of spreading them open. Rub each breast with ¼ teaspoon of olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Squeeze ½ teaspoon of brown mustard (plain or spicy) onto each breast and spread it evenly with a marinade brush.
    5.
    Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees. Dice the lettuce and roma tomato into small pieces and combine them in a mixing bowl. Mix in the bacon bits and mayonnaise. Use a large spoon to stuff each butterflied chicken breast with the mixture until the filling is used up. Secure the stuffed chicken breasts with toothpicks to keep the filling in place. Ensure the toothpicks are fully submerged in the chicken to prevent burning in the air fryer.
    6.
    Place the stuffed chicken breasts in your preheated air fryer. If using removable trays, spray the tray with pan spray before preheating. Cook the BLT chicken for 15 minutes or until done, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. The chicken should have golden edges, with excess fat released, and the mustard topping should be golden and lightly crusty. Serve 1 BLT chicken breast with 1 cup of cream of mushroom soup per serving.
