How to Make Bacon Wrapped Smoked Gouda Stuffed Chicken Breasts
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing horizontally almost all the way through, creating a pocket.
- In a medium bowl, mash the smoked gouda with a fork until slightly creamy. Stir in the chopped chives and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the gouda mixture.
- Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 2-3 slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks.
- Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chives (optional).
