- Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into the chicken breast pockets.
- Wrap each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.

- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
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!
