Oh, Spinach Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts, how I love thee. I am so happy that I discovered this easy recipe! It certainly has become a new family favorite. Anything with bacon makes the house smell divine, right?

Also, you must know it is very easy to prepare but looks like you slaved over a fancy looking dish. I got several “ooo’s and ahh’s”. Think of making this the next time you are having dinner guests. 🙂

Just mix the spinach, cream cheese, parmesan, garlic and chives together. Slice the chicken down the side, like you are butterflying it. Put 1/4 of mixture in each piece of chicken. Finish with wrapping each breast in bacon. <- the best part!

What Do You Serve with Stuffed Chicken Breasts?

I served our stuffed chicken breasts along with simple roasted potatoes and green peas with sautéed onions and it was devoured. I have also served it with mashed cauliflower or butternut squash with roasted veggies too.

4 chicken breast halves

1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

4 ounces 1/3 less fast cream cheese, room temperature

1/4 cup of parmesan cheese (you could use 1/2 cup of feta cheese as well…. or a combo of both)

2 Tablespoons chopped fresh chives, sliced thin

4 cloves of garlic

8 strips of bacon

Salt and pepper to taste

How Do You Make Stuffed Chicken Breasts?

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Place each chicken breast on a flat surface. With your hand placed flat on each piece, cut about 3/4 quarter of the way through.(careful not to cut all the way through)

Blend spinach, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, chives and garlic in medium bowl.

Spoon 1/4 of cheese mixture into the middle of the cut chicken breasts

Wrap each breast with 2 slices of bacon.

Arrange chicken breasts on baking sheet.

Then turn the temperature up to 400 degrees F (or on low broil) and cook for about 15 more minutes to get the bacon nice and crispy.

Cook for 30-40 minutes.

ENJOY!!
