Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 20 slices bacon (do not use thick cut - about 4-5 slices per breast)
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 jalapeno (seeded and finely diced)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix together all the GLAZE ingredients.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together all the CHEESE STUFFING ingredients.
  • Lengthwise, cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Stuff with the cheese mixture, dividing equally.
  • Wrap each chicken breast in 4-5 slices of bacon. Place the chicken breasts, seam side down in a lightly greased baking pan.
  • Top with the glaze mixture.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bacon is crispy and chicken is cooked through, basting the chicken occasionally with the pan drippings.
  • If you prefer extra crispy bacon, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.
