How to Make Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Chicken Yum Yum
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Butterfly each chicken breast: Using a sharp knife, cut a horizontal slit almost all the way through each breast, creating a pocket.
- Mix the desired amount of cheese with any additional seasonings (optional).
- Stuff the cheese mixture evenly into the chicken breast pockets.
- Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 2-3 slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
- Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts in a baking dish.
- Bake for 30-36 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
