Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe

Ingredients:
4 boneless
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
8-10 slices of bacon

Instructions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375F 190C.
Prepare the Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley if using, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Prepare the Chicken Breasts:
Butterfly the chicken breasts by cutting a slit through the middle horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through. You want to create a pocket for the filling.
Stuff the Chicken Breasts:
Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, stuffing each pocket with the cheese mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the chicken if needed.
Wrap with Bacon:
Wrap each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of bacon, ensuring the entire chicken breast is covered. Tuck the ends of the bacon under the chicken or secure with toothpicks.
Bake:
Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. You can use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165F 74C.
Optional: Broil for Crispiness:
If the bacon is not crispy enough, you can broil the chicken breasts for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Rest and Serve:
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute and makes the chicken more tender.
Garnish and Serve:
Optionally, garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
