Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 slices of bacon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Toothpicks

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375F 190C

In a skillet, cook the bacon until it's crispy

Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain it on paper towels

Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces

In the same skillet, add olive oil and saut the chopped spinach until it wilts

Remove from heat and let it cool

While the spinach cools, make a horizontal slit in each chicken breast to create a pocket for the stuffing

Season the chicken with salt and pepper

Stuff each chicken breast with the wilted spinach, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon

Secure the openings with toothpicks to keep the filling inside

Heat a clean skillet over medium-high heat and sear each chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown

Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center

Remove the toothpicks before serving

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Spinach, Cheese, and Bacon Stuffed Chicken!
