Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 8 slices Bacon
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (Philadelphia or similar)
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Red onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 pound Green beans, trimmed
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 quarter cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into each chicken breast, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with the diced green bell pepper, red onion, and half the minced garlic. Season the mixture with half the salt, pepper, and paprika.
Stuff the cream cheese mixture into the chicken breasts, then wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon. Secure the bacon with toothpicks if needed.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped chicken on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Meanwhile, prepare the fried green beans. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Dip each green bean into the flour, then the eggs, and finally the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the breaded green beans in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Remove any toothpicks before serving.
Serve the bacon-wrapped chicken alongside the crispy fried green beans. Enjoy your flavorful and satisfying meal!
