Bacon Wrapped/Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast #2 step by step
- Make a small incision in thick part of the top of the breast. Just small enough to be able to squeeze a finger inside of the breast and make a pocket as far down as possible without tearing the breast open..
- A tear is only a minor problem. You can still stuff the breast, but the stuffing will bubble out..
- In a mixing bowl combine cheese, roasted peppers, spinach, and the juice and zest of the lemon. Add a pinch of salt..
- Drizzle enough oil to cover the chicken. Season with dried spices, thyme, salt, and pepper..
- Use a basil leaf to grab a chunk of the cheese mixture, and stuff inside the chicken. Repeat with another basil leaf. Stuff as much of the cheese mixture inside that will fit..
- Wrap each breast with two slices of bacon..
- Bake at 350° for approximately one hour or until chicken and stuffing mixture reach 165° and bacon is caramelized and crispy..
- Briefly place under the broiler to crisp the bacon if the chicken cooks before the bacon..
- Save extra cheese mixture for another use for 3 days..
