Ingredients for Cheesy Stuffed and Bacon-Wrapped Chicken
Instructions
How to Make Stuffed and Wrapped Chicken Breast
-
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish and set aside.
-
Prepare the Bacon
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes. You want the grease to render slightly, but the bacon should remain soft and pliable. Remove and pat dry with paper towels.
-
Mix the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, red bell pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
-
Stuff the Chicken
Lay each chicken breast flat and spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture onto one side. Fold the chicken breast in half, sandwiching the filling inside.
-
Wrap and Secure
Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with two slices of bacon, ensuring the ends overlap slightly. Use toothpicks to secure the bacon and hold everything together.
-
Bake to Perfection
Arrange the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts neatly in the greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
