I made this for a quick, yummy anniversary dinner and served with garlic Parmesan rice.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
- ¼ cup pesto
- 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices bacon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; mist with cooking spray.
Step 2
Mix onion powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
Step 3
Sprinkle onion powder mixture over both sides of the chicken thighs. Lift up the skin to create a pocket; stuff pocket with 2 tablespoons of pesto and 1 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese. Wrap chicken with 2 slices of bacon, using bacon to seal the pocket. Place chicken thighs seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken, near the bone, reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 1 hour.
Cook’s Note:
Use the shredded cheese of your choice.
