Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 small yellow onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 6- to 8-ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts
12 slices bacon (not thick-cut)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook 30 seconds more. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cream cheese, chives and Worcestershire sauce and stir until evenly combined. Season the filling with salt and pepper.
  • Halve each chicken breast horizontally, leaving it attached at one side so it opens like a book. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, then divide the filling among the breasts, spreading it evenly on the inside of each. Close the chicken breasts and sprinkle the outsides lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Lay 3 strips of bacon side-by-side on a cutting board and position a chicken breast right-side-up at the end of the strips. Tuck the thinner "tail" of the chicken breast underneath for even cooking, then roll the breast up in the bacon. Repeat with the remaining bacon strips and chicken breasts.
  • Set a cooling rack in a rimmed baking sheet and transfer the chicken breasts with the bacon seam-side down to the rack. Bake until the chicken is almost cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of each breast reads 155 degrees F, about 35 minutes. Heat the broiler and broil the breasts until the bacon turns golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chicken Breasts: Select large, boneless, skinless chicken breasts of similar size to ensure even cooking.
  • Pound the Chicken Breasts: Pounding the chicken breasts helps flatten them, making them easier to wrap with bacon and cream cheese.
  • Use High-Quality Bacon: Choose thick-cut bacon for a satisfying bite and extra flavor.
  • Soften the Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the chives. This ensures a smooth and spreadable filling.
  • Season the Cream Cheese Mixture: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the cream cheese mixture for extra flavor.
  • Wrap the Chicken Tightly: Wrap the chicken breasts tightly with bacon to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
  • Secure the Bacon with Toothpicks: Use toothpicks to secure the bacon strips in place and prevent them from unraveling.
  • Cook the Chicken Thoroughly: Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is cooked safely.
  • Let the Chicken Rest: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the juices redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.
