Preparation

  1. 1.
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. 2.
    Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing horizontally through the thickest part, without cutting all the way through.
  3. 3.
    Open up the chicken breasts and place a few slices of cheddar cheese inside each one.
  4. 4.
    Close the chicken breasts and wrap each one with 2 slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  5. 5.
    In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over the bacon-wrapped chicken.
  6. 6.
    Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. 7.
    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
  8. 8.
    Remove the toothpicks and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Cheddar cheese — Use a good quality cheddar cheese that melts well for a gooey filling.
  • Bacon — Opt for thick-cut bacon to ensure it stays crispy during baking.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra kick of flavor, sprinkle some cayenne pepper or smoked paprika on the chicken before baking.
  • If you prefer a milder cheese, you can substitute cheddar with mozzarella or Swiss cheese.
  • Make sure to let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serving advice

Serve the Texas Tommy Stuffed Chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Presentation advice
