Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Chicken Recipe
This Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Chicken recipe is so easy with only 4 ingredients and 35 minutes. The flavors of cream cheese, chives, tender chicken breast, and crispy bacon are excellent together and it is low-carb.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 Tablespoon fresh or dried chives
- 4 slices of bacon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Soften cream cheese for about 20 seconds in the microwave.
- In a small bowl, mix cream cheese and chives together.
- Spray an 8 x 8 oven-safe baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Place two chicken cutlets in the baking dish.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the chicken breast, and divide evenly.
- Cut each piece of bacon in half. Weave 4 of the halves together by placing 2 vertical and 2 horizontal and then crisscrossing them together to overlap each other. Repeat with the other 4 bacon halves.
- Place one bacon weave over cream cheese mixture on each chicken cutlet.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until juices run clear and the internal temperature of a meat thermometer reaches 165 degrees F.
- If bacon is not quite done enough, turn on the broiler and broil six inches from heat for about 5 minutes or until bacon is just turning crispy.
