Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 8 pieces bacon strips
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 100 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
- 100 grams baby spinach leaves
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being cautious not to slice all the way through.
Step 3
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, the cooled spinach mixture, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a creamy stuffing.
Step 6
Spoon the stuffing evenly into the pocket of each chicken breast, then gently press the edges together to seal the stuffing inside.
Step 7
Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon, ensuring the bacon seams are on the bottom side to prevent unraveling while cooking.
Step 8
Place the wrapped chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly sprinkle paprika over the tops for added color and flavor.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 75°C (165°F) and the bacon is crisp.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious wrapped chicken breasts!
