Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 8 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 4 tablespoons Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Bacon
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a baking dish with olive oil and set it aside.
Place the fresh spinach in a skillet over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, wilted spinach, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board. Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast using a sharp knife, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the cream cheese mixture, dividing it evenly among the four breasts.
Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon, ensuring the edges of the bacon slightly overlap to secure it in place. Use toothpicks to hold the bacon if necessary.
Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should read 165°F/74°C).
For crispier bacon, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of the cooking time.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove any toothpicks before serving.
