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 high-quality chicken breasts: Look for chicken breasts that are plump, firm, and have a light pink color. Avoid chicken breasts that are thin, bruised, or have an off smell.
  • Use thick-cut bacon: Thick-cut bacon will provide more flavor and will hold up better during the cooking process. If you can't find thick-cut bacon, you can use regular-cut bacon, but you may need to cook it for a few minutes longer.
  • Season the chicken breasts generously: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  • Wrap the chicken breasts tightly with bacon: Wrap the chicken breasts tightly with bacon, making sure that there is no overlap. This will help to keep the chicken breasts moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Bake the chicken breasts at a high temperature: Bake the chicken breasts at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20-25 minutes. This will help to create a crispy, golden-brown crust on the outside of the chicken breasts while keeping the inside moist and tender.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked bacon-wrapped chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to add flavor and moisture to chicken breasts, and the bacon adds a crispy, savory crust. Serve oven-baked bacon-wrapped chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
