Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts, including inside the pockets.
  4. In another bowl, combine softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese until well blended.
  5. Generously fill each chicken pocket with the cheese mixture and gently press the edges together.
  6. Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with a slice of bacon, overlapping slightly. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
  7. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  8. Sear the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bacon is golden brown.
  9. Move the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  10. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
  11. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes.

Notes

  • For best results, use thick-cut bacon for a crispy texture.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add finely chopped vegetables to the filling for added nutrition.
  • Pair with dipping sauces like ranch, barbecue, or sriracha mayo for extra flavor.
