Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 ¼ cups crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
6 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
⅓ cup minced green onion (white part only)
3 cloves garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
12 slices thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon
toothpicks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Cut a slit into the thick side of each chicken breast, about 3 inches long and 1 1/2 inches deep.
  • Mash Gorgonzola cheese, parsley, green onion, and garlic together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Stuff each chicken breast with 1/4 cup cheese mixture. Wrap 2 slices bacon around each chicken breast, securing bacon to the chicken with wooden toothpicks. Arrange stuffed chicken in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

I'm not a big fan of blue cheese, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The gorgonzola was not overpowering and it paired perfectly with the bacon and chicken.

The flavors in this dish were amazing, but I found that the bacon overpowered the chicken and gorgonzola.

Not sure why this recipe is getting such high ratings. The combination of gorgonzola, bacon, and chicken just didn't work for me. I found the flavors to be overpowering and the chicken was dry.

Easy to make. Added sun dried tomatoes to the stuffing. Yum!!

This was a great meal. The gorgonzola and bacon go together perfectly with the chicken and the stuffing. I served it with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes.

This LJS Gorgonzola-stuffed chicken was fantastic!! A very easy recipe with amazing flavor. I took the advice of another reviewer and used fresh spinach instead of frozen. Definitely a keeper!!
