For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin spread of Dijon mustard to the chicken breasts before adding the stuffing. To prevent the stuffing from drying out, ensure the chicken completely encloses it. If the bacon starts to brown too quickly, reduce the oven temperature slightly or cover loosely with foil for the final few minutes of cooking. Experiment with different types of stuffing mixes to customize the flavor profile. Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
7 mins
Partially cook the bacon: In a microwave or large skillet, cook bacon until about halfway done. It should be pliable but not fully crisp. Set aside to cool slightly. (5-7 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Prepare the stuffing: Prepare the stuffing mix according to package directions, but do not bake it. It should be moist and ready to mold. (5 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Assemble the chicken bundles: On a clean, flat surface, lay out the partially cooked bacon. Arrange sets of three slices, with two slices going across each other and one placed perpendicular on top of the intersection forming almost like a small woven mat.
05
Step
45 mins
Place a chicken breast on top of the bacon arrangement. Divide the prepared stuffing into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a log. Place one stuffing log in the center of each chicken breast.
06
Step
5 mins
Wrap and secure: Carefully pull the chicken around the stuffing to completely enclose it, bringing the bacon up and around the chicken to create a wrapped bundle. Secure the bacon and chicken with kitchen twine or toothpicks. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder.
07
StepBake: Place the chicken bundles in a roasting pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil. (2 minutes)
08
StepBake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove the foil and continue to cook until the bacon is crisp and the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, about 10-15 more minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). (40-45 minutes)
09
StepServe: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Remove the twine or toothpicks. Serve as is or with your favorite gravy. (5 minutes)

Dec 6, 2024Next time, I might try using prosciutto instead of bacon for a leaner option.
