Now, before we jump into cooking, let’s gather our ingredients. You don’t want to be halfway through the recipe and realize you forgot the most important part: the bacon!
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1 cup of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup of green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Got everything? Awesome! Let’s get to the part where your kitchen transforms into a five-star restaurant.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). We want that perfect heat to make our bacon crispy and delicious!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well mixed. This cheesy goodness is going to make the chicken envy!
- Take the chicken breasts and carefully make a pocket in each one using a sharp knife. Be gentle, we’re aiming for deliciousness, not destruction!
- Stuff each chicken breast with the cheesy mixture, ensuring they’re generously filled. You want every bite to be a flavor explosion!
- Now, take those bacon slices and wrap them around the stuffed chicken breasts, covering as much of the surface as possible. It’s time for some bacon magic!
- Place the wrapped chicken in a baking dish and pop it in the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is irresistibly crispy.
- Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Trust us, it’ll be hard to resist, but letting it rest is key to keeping all those cheesy juices inside!
And there you have it! A dish that not only looks good but tastes even better! You can serve it with a side of veggies or some mashed potatoes, but honestly, who’s counting? Enjoy your bacon wrapped delight!
