A delightful twist on a classic chicken dish, featuring a creamy filling and crispy bacon wrap.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and chopped green onions until well mixed.
Use a fork to easily blend the ingredients together.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Seasoning enhances the natural flavor of the chicken.
Cut a pocket into each chicken breast and fill it with the cream cheese mixture.
Be careful not to cut through the chicken completely.
Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with two slices of bacon, ensuring the filling is sealed inside.
Overlap the bacon slices slightly for better coverage.
Place the wrapped chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the bacon is crispy.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
Pair with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
