Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 lb. center cut bacon
- ¼ cup bacon bits
- 4 oz cheddar cheese grated
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ounce ranch seasoning
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 2 stalks Green onions chopped
Instructions
- Place chicken breast on a sturdy work surface, or cutting board and top with a sheet of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound out chicken to ¼” thickness. Set chicken aside and discard plastic wrap.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix well to combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, bacon bits, and heavy whipping cream. Add a heaping scoop to one side of each chicken breast. Fold chicken over the cream cheese mixture and roll to the edge. Repeat with each chicken breast.
- Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap over a cutting board or work surface. Place 4 strips of bacon side by side on the plastic wrap. Place a rolled chicken breast on the edge of the bacon. Roll to wrap the chicken with the bacon. Be sure that the ends of the bacon are on the bottom of the chicken breast. If need be, trim the bacon pieces. Use the plastic wrap to tighten, and twist the ends. This will help it to maintain its shape. Place in the fridge as the oven preheats (at least 5 minutes)
- Preheat the oven to 425*
- Remove plastic wrap from chicken. Place chicken breasts (with bacon seam side down) into an oven safe baking dish. Place on the center rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 3-4 minutes to crisp the bacon.
- Garnish with green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy!
