Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast with Broccoli
A lot of my recipes include bacon and broccoli - because I love them both so much, and they go great together! This bacon wrapped stuffed chicken breast is so cheesy, creamy, and nutritous!
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 112kcal
Ingredients
- 2 whole chicken breasts (1-2 pounds total) boneless, skinless, trimmed
- 1 cup broccoli, finely chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 slices bacon, cut in half
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- drizzle of oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Cut a partial slit length-wise down the inner side of each chicken breast. Don't cut all the way through. You're looking to create a "pocket" for the filling to be placed in.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine broccoli, garlic, cream cheese, salt, and pepper (I find it easier to just use my hands).
- Ball up half the filling mixture and place in each chicken cavity and close.
- Drizzle oil in the bottom of a casserole dish.
- With seam side up, wrap bacon slices around each chicken breast, tucking in at the bottom (3 halves per breast).
- Place in the oven and cook 40-45 minutes or until internal temperature is 165 and bacon is browned.
