Ingredients

4 slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon
4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 lb.)
1/2 cup KRAFT Shredded Colby & Monterey Jack Cheeses
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups loosely packed baby spinach leaves

Steps:

Heat oven to 375°F.
Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet; drain on paper towels. Discard all but 1 Tbsp. drippings from skillet; set aside for later use.
Make 3-inch-long cut in one long side of each chicken breast to form pocket, being careful to not cut all the way through to opposite side of chicken.
Crumble bacon. Combine cheeses and half the bacon; spoon into pockets in chicken breasts. Place on rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake 25 min. or until chicken is done (165°F). About 5 min. before chicken is done, heat bacon drippings in skillet on medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 min. Add spinach; cook and stir 1 to 2 min. or just until spinach is wilted.
Sprinkle chicken with remaining bacon. Serve with spinach mixture.
