Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 slices bacon
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon Hidden Valley™ The Original Ranch™ salad dressing and seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lb)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup Annie's™ Naturals organic sweet & spicy BBQ sauce

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil; spray foil with cooking spray.
  • Microwave bacon between layers of microwavable paper towels on microwavable plate 3 to 4 minutes or just until edges begin to brown but are still soft and pliable. Cut each piece in half crosswise.
  • In small bowl, stir together cream cheese and dressing mix.
  • Cut pocket in each chicken breast by making a horizontal slit along thin long edge, being careful to not cut through to opposite side. Stuff each pocket with one-fourth of the cream cheese filling (about 2 tablespoons). Press edges of chicken together to seal. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange bacon pieces diagonally over tops of chicken breasts, pressing bacon over sides. Brush each with 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce.
  • Bake 15 minutes. Brush with remaining 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, using about 1 tablespoon on each breast. Bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F).

The chicken was juicy and flavorful, but the bacon was a bit too crispy for my taste. Otherwise, this recipe was a hit!

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the bacon and cheese filling was clumpy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The chicken was a bit bland, but the bacon and cheese filling was great. I think I would add some more seasoning to the chicken next time.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the bacon and ranch cream cheese filling was delicious. I think I would try brining the chicken next time to help keep it moist.
