How to cook deliciously - Gorgonzola-Stuffed Chicken Breasts Wrapped in Bacon

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2 . Stage

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.

3 . Stage

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.

4 . Stage

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). Melissa Goff
