Description
Creamy Bacon and Spinach Stuffed Chicken
Ingredients
3 large chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper (to taste)
4 slices cooked bacon (crumbled)
1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season and sear the chicken: Season chicken breasts with paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken on both sides until golden (about 3 minutes per side). Transfer to a baking dish.
Prepare the filling: In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms until softened. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in crumbled bacon and remove from heat.
Make the sauce: Add heavy cream, Parmesan, and mozzarella to the skillet. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
Assemble and bake: Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve: Garnish with extra bacon bits or parsley if desired, and serve hot with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
