Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8 slices of bacon

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup spinach, chopped (fresh or frozen)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon black pepper

Salt, to taste

Toothpicks (for securing the bacon)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are well blended and creamy.

      Prepare the Chicken: Take each chicken breast and cut a pocket in the side, ensuring you don’t cut all the way through. This will hold the filling.

        Stuff the Chicken: Generously spoon the cheese and spinach mixture into each pocket of the chicken breasts. Press down gently to secure the filling inside.

          Wrap with Bacon: Take two slices of bacon and lay them horizontally and slightly overlapping. Place a stuffed chicken breast at one end and roll it up tightly in the bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.

            Bake the Chicken: Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the bacon is crispy.

              Finish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before removing the toothpicks. Slice and serve hot. Enjoy your crispy bacon-wrapped stuffed chicken!
