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

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!!
