Bacon-Wrapped Spinach & Goat Cheese Chicken
Change up boring chicken with Bacon-Wrapped Spinach & Goat Cheese Chicken. This full-of-flavor chicken is stuffed with spinach, goat cheese, parmesan, and garlic and then wrapped in bacon. Yum!
Equipment
- toothpicks
- wire rack optional
- baking sheet
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 oz. goat cheese room temperature
- 2-3 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 6 oz frozen spinach thawed and squeezed dry
- 2-3 tbsp mayo
- 8-12 slices of bacon
- salt & pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Create pockets in the chicken for stuffing by slicing the chicken breast down the side and as far back as you can without cutting through the other side.
- In a medium bowl, combine the goat cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic, spinach and your desired amount of salt & pepper. Spoon the goat cheese mixture into each chicken breast and spread around evenly.
- Brush mayo on the exterior of each chicken breast and season with salt and pepper. Wrap bacon around chicken breasts and secure with toothpicks. Season wrapped chicken breasts with some more pepper and drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the bacon.
- Bake for an hour (on a wire rack with a baking sheet under it) or when the chicken is no longer pink. For crispier bacon, after baking in the oven, remove toothpicks and place the pan of chicken under the broiler for a minute or two, or until the bacon gets nice & crispy. Enjoy!
