Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 slices of bacon
4 ounces pepper jack cheese, sliced
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Make a horizontal slit along the side of the chicken breast, taking care not to cut all the way through. The pocket should be large enough to stuff the cheese.
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Stuff each chicken breast with slices of pepper jack and mozzarella cheese. You can use a mix of both cheeses or choose one type if you prefer. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the stuffed chicken.
Wrap each chicken breast with a slice of bacon, securing it with toothpicks if necessary. The bacon will help keep the cheese inside the chicken and add flavor.
Place the bacon-wrapped stuffed chicken on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish. Make sure to leave some space between each chicken breast.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts, so make sure to check for doneness.
Once cooked, remove the toothpicks from the chicken breasts. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, for added freshness and color.
Serve the bacon-wrapped stuffed chicken hot with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.
