Easy Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded thin, or more to taste
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup diced ham
• 1 cup low-fat mayonnaise (such as Smart Balance®)
• 1 cup low-fat sour cream
• 0.5 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
• 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 8 slices bacon, or more to taste
• 8 toothpicks, or as needed
• 0.25 cup whole wheat bread crumbs, or as needed

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
2. In a large bowl, combine ham, mayonnaise, sour cream, Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Place 1/2 cup of the mixture onto each chicken breast. Roll the chicken over the filling, wrap each with 2 slices of bacon, and secure with toothpicks.
3. Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Roll each chicken breast in the bread crumbs, ensuring they are fully coated. Then, place the chicken in a baking dish.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when inserted into the center of the chicken.
