Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 6 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cooked and crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Using a sharp knife, cut a horizontal pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff each chicken breast with approximately 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture. Secure the opening with toothpicks if needed.
Brush the outside of each chicken breast with olive oil, then sprinkle with paprika for added color and flavor.
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). If desired, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking to brown the tops.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Carefully remove toothpicks if used.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
