Instructions

  1. Butterfly chicken: Slice each chicken breast horizontally through the side, stopping before cutting all the way through. Open like a book.
  2. Make filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Stuff chicken: Spread 1–2 tbsp of filling inside each breast. Fold closed and secure with toothpicks.
  4. Wrap with bacon: Wrap each breast with 1–2 slices of bacon, tucking ends underneath.
  5. Cook (Oven Method): Preheat oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Place chicken on a baking sheet (or over a wire rack). Bake 22–28 minutes until chicken reaches 165Β°F and bacon is crispy.
  6. Cook (Stove + Oven Method - Optional): Sear bacon-wrapped chicken in a hot skillet with oil for 2–3 minutes per side, then transfer to oven to finish baking.
  7. Rest 5 minutes, remove toothpicks, then slice and serve.
  8. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping!

Tip: Add chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or jalapeΓ±os to the filling for extra flavor!
