When you’re looking for a new recipe to spice up your average chicken breast, it doesn’t get much more exciting than these Feta Stuffed, Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts. They’re the ultimate chicken stunner, but you don’t need to be an expert in the kitchen to manage them.
We love to serve them with salad if it’s an adults dinner, or with mash if you’re cooking for the kids. Feel free to choose a mild feta if you or your family have sensitive palettes.
Method
In a non-stick frypan place the spinach and cook, stirring, for several minutes until the leaves have wilted. Leave to cool.
Squeeze the water from the spinach and use a large knife to chop the spinach roughly. Add this into a bowl with the garlic, cream cheese and feta. Stir until well combined.
Using a very sharp knife cut a small opening into the side of each chicken breast. Keeping the opening relatively narrow, expand the cut on the inside to form a pocket. Using a teaspoon, spoon the spinach and cheese mixture into the space, stuffing as much as possible.
Take two slices of streaky bacon per chicken breast and wrap them around the breast to seal the opening you cut, and keep the stuffing in.
Heat some oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken once the pan is hot, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden on the outside and cooked all the way through.
Serve with your choice of sides.
