Ingredients
  

  • 6 large chicken breasts
  • 12 slices of bacon
  • 1 8oz block of cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried parsley
  • Optional fillings: Tinned olives - sundried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, Boursin cheese

Method
 

  1. 1. Tenderize the chicken: Place each chicken breast in a Ziploc bag and flatten using a rolling pin until it’s thin enough to roll.
    2. Mix the cream cheese: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and parsley. Divide into 6 little balls and set aside.
    3. Spread and roll: Spread a cream cheese mixture ball over each flattened chicken breast. Roll up the chicken and wrap each piece with 2 slices of bacon.
    4. Bake: Place the bacon-wrapped chicken in a baking dish and bake at 375°F / 190°C for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C
    5. Broil (optional): For crispy bacon, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.
    6. Serve: Slice the chicken (or serve whole if preferred) and serve with potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad.
