The Art Of Making Stuffed Chicken

Don’t get too discouraged as this looks quite peaky, I will certainly walk you through this with ease.

Can you make filings? It’s not too difficult anyway. Cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar, jalapenos, and a little garlic powder, and bang! You are done.

The next thing to do is to season the chicken breasts. In order not to over spice the meal, you can tone down on this a little bit. The filling already is well flavored.

You will have to drizzle the chicken with olive oil and then sprinkle on some paprika, garlic powder and onion powder. Rub it in and then fill the chicken.

Use a knife to create a pocket at the side of each chicken breast. When the chicken is ready, you are also ready to put the filling right in. 

Slice your bacon into half and arrange 2 half pieces over each of the chicken breasts. However you want it to look is up to you, but I prefer to tuck mine in neatly so it will not look too strewn.

The Art Of Cooking Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and put your chicken in a rimmed baking dish in it. For about 25 minutes, it will bake.

When testing, do it with the meat and not the filling for an accurate result. Some people do love crisp bacon, so turn the broiler high and cook it for another minute. 

Be sure to watch closely at this stage because things can really take the fast lane here.
