Bacon-Wrapped Mushroom and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Breast
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each chicken breast by cutting a slit horizontally through the thickest part of the breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the sautéed mushrooms and shredded mozzarella cheese, dividing the filling evenly among the 4 breasts.
- Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each stuffed chicken breast, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
- Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and season the top of each breast with additional salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
- Remove the toothpicks before serving. Enjoy your delicious bacon-wrapped mushroom and mozzarella stuffed chicken breast!
