Stuffed Chicken Wrapped in Bacon

Hello again!!!!

Yesterday I was in the mood for some chicken and some bacon. I as was looking through recipes to find the perfect combination of both I came across this wonderful recipe that I tweaked and made my own. Here it is, enjoy!!!

 Ingredients:

2 Chicken Breasts
2 slices extra sharp cheddar cheese or shredded cheese
½ bell pepper cut in small pieces
½ onion cut in small pieces
½ tomato cut in small pieces
4 pieces bacon
Salt and pepper for seasoning

Instructions

Carefully cut open chicken breasts with a long thin knife. You'll want to butterfly them, but be careful to not cut yourself or pull the knife up or down to get an uneven cut.
Season inside with salt and pepper.
Cut cheddar slices in half so you can lay them inside chicken and not overhang.
Mix bell pepper, onions and tomatoes.
Lay into chicken, fold chicken back up.
I added the cheese after I took the picture and forgot to take another one, upss!!!

Carefully wrap chicken with bacon.

If you are having a hard time, you can use a toothpick to keep the chicken closed and the bacon from sliding off- but that is totally optional.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, check chicken's internal temp.
When chicken is cooked thoroughly, set to broil and crisp bacon under broiler for about 2 minutes.

Serve with veggies and a salad, rice or other side dish and enjoy!

Note: I had two big chicken breasts and cut in half, so I made four stuffed chicken breast instead of two. I also used shredded cheese instead of slices (that’s what I had at home) and added a little bit of garlic powder on top of my ready to bake chicken. 

If you are looking for an easy recipe, this is it!!! It was so good and moist, my hubby loved it and took the other two pieces to work. 

Have a wonderful day!!!!
