Description
Tender chicken breasts filled with a creamy spinach and cheese mixture, wrapped in crispy bacon—a nostalgic favorite perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
- 4 strips of bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- 1 cup cheese (shredded, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Use a meat mallet to gently flatten each chicken breast for even cooking.
- Spread a generous layer of cream cheese onto each flattened chicken breast.
- Add a handful of chopped spinach and top with crumbled bacon.
- Roll the chicken up tightly, ensuring the filling stays inside, and secure with toothpicks.
- Arrange the roll-ups in a baking dish, seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Pop them in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until fully cooked.
- If desired, add shredded cheese on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Notes
Consider marinating the chicken breasts for extra flavor. You can use pre-cooked bacon or deli meats to save time. Let the roll-ups rest after baking to ensure they remain juicy.
