Here’s how you can achieve that perfect balance of creamy, smoky, and juicy, complete with professional tips to ensure each breast comes out beautifully.

Pro Tips for Perfect Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast:

1. Even Thickness Matters: Pound or press each chicken breast to a uniform thickness so stuffing and cooking are consistent.
2. Chill Before Wrapping: After stuffing, refrigerate the chicken for about 10 minutes so the filling holds together while wrapping with bacon.
3. Steam-Lock for Juiciness: Wrap tightly with bacon and press so the edges seal well—this locks moisture in while baking.
4. Season Potatoes Well: Toss the halved new potatoes with oil, salt, and pepper; this makes them a full partner to the star chicken dish.
5. Broil at the End: After baking, finish under the broiler for 3–5 minutes so the bacon browns and crisps beautifully—watch closely to avoid burning.

This Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast dish brings luxury and comfort into your kitchen—a standout entrée that rivals any restaurant.

Ingredients:

• ▢ Cooking spray
• ▢ 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• ▢ 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ▢ ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ▢ ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ▢ 2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ▢ Salt and pepper to taste
• ▢ 8 slices bacon
• ▢ 1 pound small new potatoes, halved (or regular-sized potatoes cut into 1-inch pieces)
• ▢ Optional garnish: chopped parsley

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 °F: Line a sheet pan with foil and coat with cooking spray.
2. Create pockets in the chicken: Using a small knife, cut a slit lengthwise partway across each chicken breast to form a deep pocket.
3. Make the cheese filling: In a small bowl mix together the cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, parsley and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Fill each chicken breast: Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into the pocket of each chicken breast. Alternatively you can put the filling into a plastic bag and snip the tip to create a makeshift pastry bag to squeeze the filling into the chicken.
5. Wrap with bacon: Season the top of each chicken breast with salt and pepper then wrap two slices of bacon around each chicken breast.
6. Prepare the potatoes: Place the chicken breasts on the sheet pan; scatter the potatoes around the chicken. Coat the potatoes in cooking spray and season with salt and pepper.
7. Bake then broil: Place in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. Broil for an additional 3-5 minutes or until bacon is browned and crispy.
8. Serve right away: Transfer to plates, optionally garnish with chopped parsley, and dish up immediately.
