Scrumptious Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Cream Cheese are wrapped in bacon for extra delicious flavors!  Make this perfect easy dish for your family and guests.

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?

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 the mixture in each piece of chicken.  Finish with wrapping each breast in bacon, which is the best part!

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

How Do You Make Stuffed Chicken Breasts?

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)

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!!

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.

      Oh absolutely! I would sauté it a bag of baby spinach in a tad of olive oil until it’s wilted. It would be perfect!

    I cant wait to try this! My question is how well do they “reheat”? Every year a group of us rent a house on the lake in wine country and I bring dinner. After a long day of wine tasting we go back to the house and whatever I have prepared that year I just pop into the oven to heat and we have dinner! Would this be something I could do a head and just heat?

      That sounds like so much fun! Although, I have never made ahead myself, I would think that it would be just fine. You may want to spray with a little oil to help the bacon crisp up again. Have a great trip!

    I want to try this so much! Do you think I could substitute turkey bacon or if I have to just use toothpicks to keep them together? I have recently developed a pork allergy and can’t have regular bacon!

      Oh yes you could definitely use turkey bacon! Toothpicks would be perfect too 🙂

    What a delicious way to include spinach in your meal! I think even my picky husband wouldn’t complain about this 🙂

    This looks really delicious. I made a recipe similar to this for my family about a month ago using sundried tomatoes and spinach, and they tasted awesome, but didn’t hold together well. The bacon is a great way to keep them together and who doesn’t love bacon!? Looking forward to trying this recipe.
