A delightful twist on a classic chicken dish, featuring creamy cheese and crispy bacon.
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Flatten the chicken breasts using a meat mallet until they are thin enough to roll.
Place the chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap to prevent mess.
Spread a layer of herbed cream cheese onto each chicken breast.
Ensure an even layer for consistent flavor in every bite.
Roll up each chicken breast and wrap two slices of bacon around it, securing with toothpicks.
Overlap the bacon slightly to cover the chicken completely.
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish.
Use a dish that fits the rolls snugly to keep them upright.
In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the chicken rolls.
Mix thoroughly to ensure a smooth sauce.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the rolls and return to the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
For a golden crust, broil for an additional 2 minutes.
Serve the rolls hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
