Bacon Wrapped Jambalaya Stuffed Chicken Recipes

BACON WRAPPED STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST (ONE PAN MEAL)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat with cooking spray.
• Using a small knife, cut a slit lengthwise partway across each chicken breast to create a deep pocket.
• In a small bowl mix together the cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, parsley and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into the pocket of each chicken breast. Alternatively you can put the filling into a plastic bag and snip the tip to create a makeshift pastry bag to squeeze the filling into the chicken.
• Season the top of each chicken breast with salt and pepper then wrap 2 slices of bacon around each chicken breast.
• Place the chicken breasts on the sheet pan; scatter the potatoes around the chicken. Coat the potatoes in cooking spray and season with salt and pepper.
• Place in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. Broil for an additional 3-5 minutes or until bacon is browned and crispy.
• Serve immediately, with chopped parsley as a garnish if desired.

STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST WRAPPED IN BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Make a pocket in each of the chicken breasts by slicing down one side, making sure to not slice all the way through. Stuff each pocket with mozzarella cheese and a 1/4 the minced garlic. Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each stuffed breast and secure in place with toothpicks. The pocket opening should be completely covered.
• Combine onion and remaining garlic in a shallow baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Place stuffed chicken breasts on top and sprinkle with rosemary.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

BACON WRAPPED STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Place chicken breast on a sturdy work surface, or cutting board and top with a sheet of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound out chicken to ¼" thickness. Set chicken aside and discard plastic wrap.
• In a medium mixing bowl, mix well to combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, bacon bits, and heavy whipping cream. Add a heaping scoop to one side of each chicken breast. Fold chicken over the cream cheese mixture and roll to the edge. Repeat with each chicken breast.
• Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap over a cutting board or work surface. Place 4 strips of bacon side by side on the plastic wrap. Place a rolled chicken breast on the edge of the bacon. Roll to wrap the chicken with the bacon. Be sure that the ends of the bacon are on the bottom of the chicken breast. If need be, trim the bacon pieces. Use the plastic wrap to tighten, and twist the ends. This will help it to maintain its shape. Place in the fridge as the oven preheats (at least 5 minutes)
• Preheat the oven to 425*
• Remove plastic wrap from chicken. Place chicken breasts (with bacon seam side down) into an oven safe baking dish. Place on the center rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 3-4 minutes to crisp the bacon.
• Garnish with green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy!

INDIVIDUAL STUFFED CHICKEN CORDON BLEU MEATLOAF, BACON WRAPPED

Steps:

• Mustard Sauce -- Simply mix the mustard and honey and set to the side.
• Meatloaf -- In a large bowl, add the onion, celery, garlic, eggs, steak sauce, worcestershire, parsley, Italian seasoning, pepper, and parmesan and mix well to combine.
• Bread Crumbs -- In a small pie plate or bowl, soak the bread slices in the milk for just 10-20 seconds and then squeeze out the liquid. Break up the bread in the bowl to add to the meatloaf mix. Stir well to combine.
• Chicken -- Add the ground chicken to the bowl and mix to combine once again. Don't over mix, it can become tough. It's done.
• Loafs -- First is to divide your meatloaf mix into 4 portions, for 4 loafs. Then layout a piece of wax paper or parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray (it will keep the meat from sticking), and then top it with enough mix for 1 of the loafs. Press down flat (like a small rectangle), it doesn't have to be perfect. Just not too thin because you are going to add the stuffing and then roll it.
• Once the meat it flat, spread 1/4 cup of the mustard/honey sauce on top of the meat. Make sure to leave a 1/2" border around the edges. Then top with 1/4 cup swiss cheese, followed by 1 ham slice, 1/3 cup of the parmesan, and 1/4 cup more swiss cheese. Stuffing is done.
• Form the Loaf -- Just roll up. I start at one of the long sides, and roll (just like rolling a buritto or sandwich roll). Once it is rolled, squeeze the ends together, so nothing leaks out, and slightly squeeze the whole roll so it is tightly sealed and form like a small loaf.
• Topping -- Place all the loafs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or you could use foil. Both work great for easy clean up. Brush each loaf, the top and sides with 1/8 cup mustard sauce per each loaf. Top with the bacon slices, going horizontally across the loaf (not lengthwise). Four slices should fit nicely going across the top, and make sure the bacon hangs over the sides going down to the bottom, this will give it great flavor. Done.
• Bake -- 375 degree oven, middle shelf for about 45 minutes until golden brown and the bacon is crispy.
• Serve -- As I said, I love to put them on a big serving tray because they are so pretty, The bacon forms natural slices, so I cut 1 or 2 slices off of a couple of loafs as needed to show off the pretty rolled filling.
• Some mashed "spuds," or just a good baked potato, and some roasted asparagus in a foil pouch so NO extra pots or pans. ENJOY!

BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Skin 2 chicken breasts, then cut a pocket in each side and stuff each with 25g/1oz soft goat's cheese.
• Wrap each breast in 2 rashers rindless streaky bacon, tucking in a few fresh sage leaves, then put the breasts in a baking dish and season. Spoon over 1 tbsp olive oil.
• Roast the chicken breasts in a baking dish, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven (190C/gas 5/fan oven 170C). To check if they are done, insert a sharp knife into the centre of a parcel and leave it for a few seconds, if the chicken is cooked the tip should feel very hot when you pull it out and touch it. The chicken should also feel very firm when pressed with the back of a fork.
• Serve with a gratin of potatoes and leeks.
