Steps:
- Cook bacon until crisp. I prefer to use an indoor grill. Bacon can also be cooked in a skillet over medium-high heat, or the microwave at about 1 minute per slice. Drain on paper towels, and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, stir together the spinach and blue cheese. Crumble in the bacon, and stir to distribute.
- Lay the chicken breast halves out on a clean surface, and distribute the spinach mixture evenly onto the centers of them. Fold the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks. Stir together the flour, salt and pepper on a dinner plate. Roll the chicken in the flour to coat.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly brown each piece of chicken on top and bottom. Remove to a lightly greased baking dish, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken juices run clear, and filling is hot.

BACON WRAPPED CREAM CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:
- Cut chicken into 4 equal size pieces. Pound breast so it is about 1/4" thick. Mix together softened cream cheese, chopped green onions and shredded pepperjack cheese. Put 1/4 of this mixture into the middle of each piece of chicken. Starting at the long side, roll chicken breast up, keeping the cheese mixture to the middle. Wrap 1 to 2 slices of bacon around the chicken breast, secure with toothpick, if needed. One piece of bacon wrapped around each breast is enough. But 2 pieces of bacon for each breast fully wraps the chicken and is outstanding. Place on baking sheet and back for 30 minutes at 375 degrees F. Broil topside for about 5 minutes to fully brown and crisp bacon. Turn each breast over and broil for another 3 minutes or so to crisp up the bottom side.
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- For a crispy bacon coating, cook the bacon until it's nice and crispy before chopping it.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts thin.
- To prevent the cheese from leaking out of the chicken breasts, make sure to seal the edges properly before cooking.
- For a cheesy and gooey center, use a good quality melting cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked bacon to save time.
- For a healthier version of this dish, use turkey bacon and low-fat cheese.
Conclusion:
Bacon cheese stuffed chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for any occasion.
