How to Make Bacon Wrapped Chicken
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound each breast to 1/2-inch thickness.
- In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of spreadable chive and onion cream cheese (or 3 tablespoons softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon finely minced onion).
- Spread 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
- Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
- Tightly roll each chicken breast into a cylinder.
- Wrap each chicken roll with 1-2 slices of bacon, securing with a toothpick if needed.
- Place the chicken seam-side down in a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
- For extra crispy bacon, broil for 2-5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
