Lee Morgan embraces this dish that has been on The Dublin Pub's menu since its 1998 opening. The pub's bowls of potato soup and platters of lamb sausage offer a nod to the establishment’s namesake city, but one of the most popular dishes on its menu is a surprising and delicious confluence of cultures. “It’s kind of an Irish take on a cordon bleu,” Morgan explains. "But we stuff Irish rashers in it, which is Irish bacon.”

Chicken O’ Brien | Makes 2 servings
Recipe courtesy of The Dublin Pub 

INGREDIENTS
2 chicken breasts
2 cups frozen corn
1/2 cup diced rasher or ham, plus 2 slices
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup shredded Irish cheddar or sharp white cheddar
Salt and pepper to taste
Dill cream sauce (recipe below)

DIRECTIONS
Combine corn, scallions, red bell pepper and diced rasher or ham, and set aside. 

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and grill the chicken breasts until done. Butterfly each chicken breast and stuff with one slice of the rasher or ham and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. 

While chicken is cooking, cook corn in a medium saute pan until hot, adding salt and pepper as needed. Divide corn mixture equally on two plates. Place stuffed chicken breast on top and cover with dill cream sauce. 

Dill Cream Sauce
INGREDIENTS
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh dill
4 ounces white wine
1 tablespoon 
unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
Juice from half a lemon
