Why You’ll Love This Recipe:

• Easy but Impressive: Looks fancy, but comes together quickly with minimal prep.
• Versatile Serving Options: Pairs with everything from greens to grains.
• Low-Carb & Keto Friendly: Naturally fits into many diets.
• One Pan, Less Mess: Sear and bake in the same skillet for easier cleanup.

Ingredients:
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 slices bacon
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup chopped green onions
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking once the chicken is seared.
Step 2: Make the Cheese Filling
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined and creamy.
Step 3: Stuff the Chicken
Use a sharp knife to carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally, creating a pocket. Be sure not to cut all the way through. Spoon the cheese mixture into each pocket, distributing it evenly.
Step 4: Wrap with Bacon
Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with two slices of bacon. You can secure the bacon with toothpicks if needed to keep everything in place.
Step 5: Sear the Chicken
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the bacon-wrapped chicken and sear for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until the bacon is browned and starting to crisp.
Step 6: Bake to Finish
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7: Rest and Serve
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking to keep it juicy. Remove toothpicks before serving.
Tips:
• Cheese Variations: Swap in mozzarella, pepper jack, or gouda for different flavor twists.
• Add Veggies: Mix in chopped spinach or roasted red peppers into the filling for added color and nutrition.
• Crispier Bacon: If you like your bacon extra crispy, broil the chicken for the last 2–3 minutes—just keep a close eye on it.
• Secure Smart: Use oven-safe toothpicks and count them so you remember to remove them all before serving.
Storage and Reheating:
Refrigerator:
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The bacon may soften slightly but will still be delicious.
Freezer:
Freeze individual cooked portions tightly wrapped in foil or a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Reheating:
• Oven: Reheat at 350°F for 15–20 minutes until warmed through.
• Microwave: Heat in 1-minute intervals, covering loosely with a paper towel to prevent splatter.
• Skillet: Reheat over medium-low heat with a splash of broth or water to avoid drying out.
Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken is everything a comforting meal should be—rich, flavorful, and totally satisfying. Whether you’re hosting dinner guests or just treating yourself to a cozy night in, this dish is a guaranteed winner.
