Ingredients
-
cooking spray
-
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
-
¼ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
-
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
-
2 tablespoons minced shallot
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
4 thick slices of applewood smoked bacon
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Using a sharp knife, cut a slit into the thick side of each chicken breast, about 2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches deep.
-
Mash together Gorgonzola cheese, parsley, shallot, and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Fill each chicken breast pocket with Gorgonzola mixture. Wrap 2 slices bacon around each breast; secure with wooden toothpicks. Place chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is browned and chicken is no longer pink inside, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
