Crispy Bacon Wrapped Chicken comes together quickly and is stuffed with a delicious mixture of cream cheese, mozzarella and green chilis.

How do you cook Bacon Wrapped Chicken?

• This chicken is prepared and then cooked in the oven for about 40 minutes at 375 degrees.
• The key to getting the bacon crispy is to broil after chicken is cooked through.

How to prepare Bacon Wrapped Chicken

• You’ll begin by combining cream cheese, shredded mozzarella and diced green chilies in a mixing bowl (I find it’s easiest to combine using a fork).

• After mixture is combined, set aside and prepare your chicken.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lay chicken flat on foil.
• Top each chicken breast with a heaping spoonful of the cheese mixture.
• Take a slice of bacon and wrap around chicken and filling, helping to secure filling in place. Repeat until all chicken is prepared.

• Place in oven and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
• Once baking is complete, turn oven to broil and broil until bacon is crispy and cheese is bubbly, about 5-8 minutes.
• Remove from oven, serve with a side of veggies and enjoy!
