How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Chicken
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup crumbled bacon, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and salt to taste.
- Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound chicken to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Spread the cheese and bacon mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
- Roll up each chicken breast tightly and secure with toothpicks.
- Place the chicken rolls in a baking dish and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra bacon and cheese, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
