BACON-WRAPPED CHICKEN BREASTS



Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Breasts image

Boneless skinless chicken breasts stay moist and flavorful when wrapped in bacon and roasted. Plus, a filling of cream cheese flavored with onions, garlic and Worcestershire sauce infuses the meat with even more flavor from the inside.

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.

BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN BREASTS



Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts image

My cousin gave this recipe to me in a cookbook she made for my wedding gift. When I got married I didn't know how to cook anything but this is super easy to make and my husband still loves it! I leave out the chives because my husband doesn't like them. And I also use more black pepper than the recipe calls for. I like more in the sauce mixture & more on top of the chicken. Sometimes I have to use more than one slice of bacon to wrap the chicken if it's big.

Tips:

  • For a crispy bacon wrap, use thin-cut bacon and cook it until it's almost crispy before wrapping the chicken breasts.
  • To prevent the bacon from burning, baste the chicken breasts with melted butter or olive oil during cooking.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the chicken is cooked through by cutting into the thickest part of the breast. The chicken is done when the juices run clear.
  • Serve the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
