Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 8 slices Bacon
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly combined.
Place each chicken breast on a flat surface. Using a sharp knife, carefully create a small pocket in each chicken breast for stuffing.
Stuff each chicken breast with approximately 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture, ensuring the pocket is filled but not overflowing.
Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if needed.
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of a crockpot to prevent sticking and add moisture during cooking.
Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts into the crockpot in a single layer.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken carefully from the crockpot and discard the toothpicks if used.
Optional: For extra crispy bacon, transfer the chicken breasts to a baking sheet and broil on high for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving if desired. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad.
