Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breasts
A savory and indulgent entrée featuring tender chicken breasts filled with creamy cheese and onion stuffing, all wrapped in crispy bacon. This dish is perfect for impressing dinner guests or treating the family to something a little extra special.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 cup cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket for the stuffing.
- Spoon the cheese mixture into each chicken breast pocket, spreading it evenly.
- Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with two slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts for about 3–4 minutes on each side until the bacon is crispy.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For a little kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture. You can also use toothpicks to keep the bacon in place while cooking.
