I had to make lunch one day and came up with this wonder just with some ingredients I had in the refrigerator. It turned out great.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices bacon
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 green onions, chopped
¼ cup chopped red bell pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a small baking dish.
  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until the grease has mostly rendered, but the bacon is still very soft, about 3 minutes. Remove, and pat dry with paper towels; set aside.
  • Stir together the cream cheese, green onions, bell pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl until combined. Divide this mixture onto each chicken breast. Fold the breasts in half, and wrap with 2 slices of bacon. Secure with toothpicks as needed. Place into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the thickest part, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
