Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
  3. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over the chicken breasts.
  4. In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese until well blended.
  5. Spread a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture over one side of each chicken breast.
  6. Lay two slices of bacon side by side, place a chicken breast on one end, and roll it up, tucking in the sides.
  7. Use toothpicks to secure the ends if necessary.
  8. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  9. Place the chicken bacon wraps seam side down in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  10. Move the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  11. Let the chicken wraps rest for about 5 minutes after baking.
  12. Slice into bite-sized pieces or serve whole, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in your favorite marinade for a few hours before preparing.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add herbs to the cheese mixture for a unique twist.
