Chicken Breast Stuffed with Cheese and Spinach Wrapped in Bacon

Directions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Prepare the Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket in each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and cheese mixture.

Wrap in Bacon:
Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 1-2 strips of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if needed.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the wrapped chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bacon is browned and crispy.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 75°C or 165°F).
