How to Make Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken

  1. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
  2. Cook 6 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and crumble, reserving 3 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup stuffing mix, 1/2 cup water, 3 tablespoons reserved bacon grease, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and the crumbled bacon.
  4. (Optional) Add 1/2 cup cooked and diced chicken, ham, or sausage to the stuffing mixture.
  5. Mix the stuffing ingredients thoroughly.
  6. Spread about 1/3 cup of stuffing evenly onto each chicken breast.
  7. Roll up the chicken breasts tightly and secure with toothpicks.
  8. Wrap each chicken breast with one slice of cooked bacon.
  9. Place the chicken breasts seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch glass casserole dish.
  10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
  11. Prepare your favorite sauce (e.g., a honey-mustard glaze or a creamy mushroom sauce).
  12. Brush the sauce generously over the chicken, avoiding the bacon.
  13. Continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
