Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Salad Supreme dry seasoning
grated romano cheese
grated parmesan cheese

5 slices of precooked Canadian bacon, diced
5 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thawed & pounded down

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line bottom of a glass pan with olive oil and set aside at least 10 – 15 toothpicks near your workstation.
  • Mix seasoning ingredients in a shallow pan, with enough room to lay one chicken breast down in it.
  • Add as much as you want of each seasoning per your taste, I used a couple of shakes for each ingredient and a little extra of the cheeses.
  • Mix all stuffing ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Lay one chicken breast in the shallow seasoning dish to coat the outside, and then in the center of the chicken breast add a line of the stuffing mixture.
  • Roll and seal by sticking a toothpick on the top of each end to close.
  • Once all the chicken breasts are stuffed and in the glass dish, you will have left over stuffing, place the leftover stuffing on top of each chicken breast on the lip of the “seal”.
  • Bake in oven for 30 minutes, check to see if done, depending on oven you may need another 15 minute.

Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe image

This is an easy recipe when you want to spruce up your chicken. Adding the creamy filling and wrapping it in bacon adds so much flavor!

Provided by Becky Hardin

Categories     Main Course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 lb. center cut bacon
¼ cup bacon bits
4 oz cheddar cheese (grated)
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
½ cup sour cream
1 ounce ranch seasoning
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
2 stalks Green onions (chopped)

Steps:

  • Place chicken breast on a sturdy work surface, or cutting board and top with a sheet of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound out chicken to ¼" thickness. Set chicken aside and discard plastic wrap.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix well to combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, bacon bits, and heavy whipping cream. Add a heaping scoop to one side of each chicken breast. Fold chicken over the cream cheese mixture and roll to the edge. Repeat with each chicken breast.
  • Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap over a cutting board or work surface. Place 4 strips of bacon side by side on the plastic wrap. Place a rolled chicken breast on the edge of the bacon. Roll to wrap the chicken with the bacon. Be sure that the ends of the bacon are on the bottom of the chicken breast. If need be, trim the bacon pieces. Use the plastic wrap to tighten, and twist the ends. This will help it to maintain its shape. Place in the fridge as the oven preheats (at least 5 minutes)
  • Preheat the oven to 425*
  • Remove plastic wrap from chicken. Place chicken breasts (with bacon seam side down) into an oven safe baking dish. Place on the center rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 3-4 minutes to crisp the bacon.
  • Garnish with green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chicken cutlets. Look for cutlets that are evenly sized and free of any blemishes.
  • Pound the chicken cutlets thin. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Wrap the chicken cutlets in bacon. Make sure the bacon is tightly wrapped around the chicken cutlets, so that it doesn't come loose during cooking.
