Turkey Bacon Wrapped BBQ Stuffed Chicken Breast with Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 slices of turkey bacon
- 2 cups of mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Fill each chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce and 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Close the pocket and wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of turkey bacon, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
- Place the stuffed and wrapped chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the roasted vegetables. In a large bowl, toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables on a separate baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Once the chicken and vegetables are done, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the turkey bacon wrapped BBQ stuffed chicken breast with a generous portion of roasted vegetables on the side. Enjoy!
