This chicken is stuffed with two of my favorite things: Gorgonzola cheese and bacon!
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- ¼ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons minced shallot
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 thick slices of applewood smoked bacon
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, cut a slit into the thick side of each chicken breast, about 2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches deep.
Step 3
Mash together Gorgonzola cheese, parsley, shallot, and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Fill each chicken breast pocket with Gorgonzola mixture. Wrap 2 slices bacon around each breast; secure with wooden toothpicks. Place chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is browned and chicken is no longer pink inside, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
