Bacon and Feta Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients

• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Paprika (1 teaspoon)
• Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
• Feta cheese (1/2 cup, crumbled)
• Bacon (8 slices)
• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the side of each breast.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the feta cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Stuff each chicken breast with the feta cheese mixture and use toothpicks to secure the opening.
5. Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon, tucking the ends of the bacon underneath the chicken.
6. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
7. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bacon is crispy.
8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
9. Remove the toothpicks from the chicken and serve hot.
