Bacon and Cheddar Stuffed Chicken
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let it cool, then crumble into small pieces.
- In a small bowl, mix together the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff each chicken breast with the bacon and cheddar mixture, dividing it evenly among the 4 breasts.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
