CHICKEN CREAM CHEESE BAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix together thoroughly and set aside.
• To make the spinach mixture, combine cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise and spinach in another bowl. Mix thoroughly.
• Slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast meat.
• Spoon the spinach mixture into the breast pockets and spread it evenly.
• Prepare the casserole dish by drizzling olive oil and sprinkling some of the spice mixture in it.
• Place the chicken in the dish and add more spice mixture and olive oil over the chicken.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Then bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
• Place the stuffed chicken breast in a plate, use the drippings as the sauce.
• Garnish with parsley, then serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until it begins to curl and turn red - you want it to be partially cooked but still flimsy. Place bacon on a paper towel while preparing other ingredients.
• In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese and chives. Set aside.
• Place chicken breasts in a Ziploc bag. Using a rolling pin or meat tenderizer, flatten chicken breasts until they're about 1/4 inch thick.
• Spoon a portion of the cream cheese mix and spread it in the center of the chicken breast, keeping at least a 1/2 inch gap from the edges clear.
• Starting with the smallest end, roll up the chicken breast. With the seam side of the chicken facing up, wrap pieces of bacon around it so that the ends of the bacon are tucked beneath the chicken. Wrapping this way should secure the bacon and keep the chicken wrapped. If needed, use toothpicks to help keep the chicken wrap together.
• Place chicken in a 9x13 baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. Turn oven to broil for 5 minutes to crisp the bacon. If desired, sprinkle more fresh chopped chives on top.
• Serve immediately.
