How to Make Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts With Gorgonzola Walnut Stuffing

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position oven rack 6 inches from the top.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash together 4 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, and 1 teaspoon fresh sage. Season generously with black pepper.
  3. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized logs.
  4. Cut a deep pocket into the thickest side of each of 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each).
  5. Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  6. Stuff each chicken breast with a cheese log.
  7. Place a bacon slice (about 4 slices total) on a flat surface. Arrange a chicken breast, smooth side up, on top of the bacon. Wrap bacon around chicken in a spiral, tucking in the ends. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  8. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  9. Place chicken breasts, smooth sides up, in the skillet. Cook until undersides are nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side.
  10. Carefully turn chicken breasts and brown the other side.
  11. Drain excess fat from the skillet.
  12. Loosely cover the skillet with aluminum foil.
  13. Bake for 20 minutes.
  14. Remove foil and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until bacon is crisp and golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  15. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
