A bacon-wrapped stuffed chicken breast with roasting potatoes dish is a fast and easy supper that is guaranteed to impress any audience! This chicken is filled with a delicious mixture of three kinds of cheese, garlic, and herbs.

 

Cooking spray

 

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 ounces cream cheese softened

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste

8 slices bacon

1 pound small new potatoes halved

Optional garnish: chopped parsley

 

Oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat a baking pan with foil and cooking spray. To make a deep pocket, cut a slit lengthwise across every chicken breast with a little knife.

Combine the cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, parsley, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Scoop the cheese mixture equally into each chicken chest pocket.   Sprinkle the top of each chicken breast with salt and pepper, then weave two pieces of bacon around each. Arrange the chicken breasts on the baking pan, followed by the potatoes. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper after spraying them with cooking spray.

Preheat the oven to 400°F and cook for 40 minutes. Broil for another 3-5 minutes, or until the bacon is browned and crispy.

Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley.
