Ingredients

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• cooking spray
• toothpicks
• 1 ¼ cups crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
• 6 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• ⅓ cup minced green onion (white part only)
• 12 slices thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Cut a slit into the thick side of each chicken breast, about 3 inches long and 1 1/2 inches deep.

Step 3

Mash Gorgonzola cheese, parsley, green onion, and garlic together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Stuff each chicken breast with 1/4 cup cheese mixture. Wrap 2 slices bacon around each chicken breast, securing bacon to the chicken with wooden toothpicks. Arrange stuffed chicken in the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
