Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons Boursin cheese (garlic and herb flavor)
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 pieces toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain and cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, carefully make a horizontal slit on the thickest side of each chicken breast to create a pocket, being sure not to cut all the way through.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the crumbled bacon with the Boursin cheese until well combined.

Step 5

Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the Boursin and bacon mixture. Secure the openings with toothpicks to keep the filling inside during cooking.

Step 6

Drizzle olive oil over the stuffed chicken breasts, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper on all sides.

Step 7

Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 8

Transfer 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).

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the oven, carefully discard the toothpicks, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
