Description

I love to experiment in the kitchen! I watch several cooking shows and often come up with an idea of my own from a recipe I see in a show. This stuffed one I came up with one evening while deciding what to do with the chicken breasts I had thawed out. It was a hit in our household, and I've made it again since I came up with it! My husband loves this wrapped in bacon, I like it better without.

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
  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 8 slices bacon, or more to taste
  • 8 toothpicks, or as needed
  • ¼ cup whole wheat bread crumbs, or as needed
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  2. 2. Mix ham, mayonnaise, sour cream, Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika together in a large bowl. Place 1/2 cup mixture on each chicken breast. Roll chicken over filling, wrap with 2 slices bacon, and secure with toothpicks.
  3. 3. Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Roll each chicken breast in bread crumbs to coat. Place chicken in a baking dish.
  4. 4. Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
