Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Minced fresh parsley
- 4 slices Cooked crumbled bacon
- 4 sheets (10x10-inch each) Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season them evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until they are just cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the creamy filling by mixing the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, minced parsley, and crumbled bacon in a medium bowl until well combined. Set aside.
Cut each cooked chicken breast horizontally (but not all the way through) to create a pocket. Stuff each pocket generously with the prepared cheese mixture. Press the edges together to seal the filling inside.
Place each stuffed chicken breast on a separate sheet of aluminum foil. Wrap each piece tightly into a triangle-shaped packet, ensuring no filling escapes and the foil is well sealed.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for an additional 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to melt.
Carefully remove the foil packets from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before opening. Be cautious of the steam when unwrapping the foil.
Serve the twice-baked chicken hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
