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



Bacon wrapped chicken image

This simple bacon wrapped chicken breast with goat's cheese filling is a simple way to impress at a last-minute dinner party or it's great for a quick midweek meal

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 chicken breasts
50g soft goat's cheese
4 rashers streaky bacon
handful of fresh sage leaves
1 tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • Skin 2 chicken breasts, then cut a pocket in each side and stuff each with 25g/1oz soft goat's cheese.
  • Wrap each breast in 2 rashers rindless streaky bacon, tucking in a few fresh sage leaves, then put the breasts in a baking dish and season. Spoon over 1 tbsp olive oil.
  • Roast the chicken breasts in a baking dish, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven (190C/gas 5/fan oven 170C). To check if they are done, insert a sharp knife into the centre of a parcel and leave it for a few seconds, if the chicken is cooked the tip should feel very hot when you pull it out and touch it. The chicken should also feel very firm when pressed with the back of a fork.
  • Serve with a gratin of potatoes and leeks.

Tips:

  • For a crispy bacon wrapping, cook the bacon until it is just shy of your desired crispness, as it will continue to cook in the oven.
  • To ensure the chicken breasts are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing from the oven.
  • Enhance the flavor by seasoning the chicken breasts with your favorite herbs and spices before wrapping them in bacon.
  • For a more decadent twist, stuff the chicken breasts with a flavorful filling such as spinach and cheese or sun-dried tomatoes and pesto.
  • Serve the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts with a variety of dipping sauces, such as barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped chicken breasts are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as an appetizer. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal preparation, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that is sure to impress your family and friends. Whether you prefer a classic bacon wrapping or want to experiment with different flavors and fillings, this recipe is a great starting point for creating a delicious and memorable dish.
