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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts. Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so that they cook evenly. If your chicken breasts are too large, you can cut them in half horizontally to make two medallions.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken breasts. This will help you create clean, even medallions that will cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is a lean protein, so it cooks quickly. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough. Cook the chicken medallions until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality bacon. The bacon will add flavor and moisture to the chicken medallions. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good smoky flavor.
  • Wrap the chicken medallions tightly with the bacon. This will help to keep the bacon from falling off during cooking.
  • Cook the chicken medallions over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bacon from burning.
  • Serve the chicken medallions immediately. They are best when served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped chicken medallions are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They can be served as an appetizer, main course, or even as part of a buffet. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that your family and friends will love.
