I had this awesome bacon-wrapped cheese-stuffed chicken for Mother’s Day lunch and I am so excited to share the delicious recipe with you. But first, let me greet you all gorgeous mommas out there a belated Happy Mother’s Day. I hope you were spoiled rotten with the love you deserve.
Chicken breast, being a very lean meat, is notorious for its tendency to dry out fast during cooking, especially when prepared without any kind of sauce. Wrapping it in bacon deliciously solves the problem as the chicken absorbs the glorious fat rendered by the bacon while they both roast in the oven. Stuffed with a cream cheese and cheddar cheese mixture, you got nom nom heaven!
With less than five ingredients and simple prep, these bacon-wrapped cheese-stuffed chicken are easy to fix for everyday family meal yet fancy enough for company. They also freeze well for future use so double the recipe and enjoy stress-free weeknight dinners!
Make sure to use thin cut bacon and crank up the oven to broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes to crisp up the bacon a little. And, of course, enjoy!
