How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound chicken to 1/2-inch thickness.
  4. Spread the cheese and bacon mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
  5. Roll up each chicken breast tightly and secure with toothpicks.
  6. 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).
  7. 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!
