How to Make Mustard Stuffed Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 6).
  2. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of your chosen cheese (fat-free or full-fat), 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a slit lengthwise into the thicker side of each chicken breast, creating a pocket for the filling.
  4. Spoon the mustard and cheese mixture evenly into the chicken breasts.
  5. Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon (turkey bacon for a low-fat option), securing it gently to hold the chicken together.
  6. Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
  8. Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
