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

- In a small bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the cheese mixture, then wrap 2 slices of bacon around each breast, securing with toothpicks if necessary.

- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
