Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a small baking dish.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.
