Hasselback Chicken with Bacon, Cream Cheese, and Spinach

oz cream cheese (softened)

Mozzarella cheese

Parmesan cheese

garlic (minced)

spinach (chopped, thawed)

salt

chicken breasts

bacon (cooked, drained)

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Mix spinach dip ingredients together. Add salt to taste.

Slice the top of each chicken breast.  Make about 6 slits on top of each chicken breast, going 3/4 way down, without cutting it through.

Add chicken breasts to the casserole dish.

Fill the slits with the spinach dip.  You will only use half of the dip.

Slice cooked bacon horizontally into shorter slices.  Slide them into slits.  Or, just place them on top of chicken.  They will pop out anyway when cooking.

Cook at 375 F for 20-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Ingredients

Prepare all ingredients you will need for easier assembly.

Prepare the Chicken Breasts

Using a sharp knife, make 4-5 cutting slits into the chicken without cutting to the bottom of the chicken pieces.

Fill the Chicken Breasts

Fill each slit with one piece of tomato, mozzarella, and one bigger leaf of basil. Continue until you have filled all the chicken breasts prepared.

Baking Tray

At this point, heat the oven to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and gently place the chicken on top of the tray.

Olive Oil

Once your chicken breasts are spread nicely over the tray, sprinkle them generously with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Salt, Pepper, and Bake

As the last step, sprinkle salt and pepper. Place chicken in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees f.

Stuffed with cheese, bacon or ham, pickled jalapenos and sprinkled with seasoning, this Hasselback Chicken is a super fun and delicious way to serve chicken breasts! 

Hasselback Chicken

boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Italian seasoning,

bacon OR Canadian bacon OR smoked ham (,

jalapenos

Preheat the oven to 400 F.  Cutting at a slight angle, cut 6 slits into each chicken breast, making sure not to cut all the the way through (the breast should remain attached at the bottom by roughly a thickness of 1/4 inch).  Sprinkle each chicken breast with some salt and pepper or Seasoned Salt or all-purpose seasoning of choice (Creole Seasoning makes another good choice for this flavor combo).  You should have 24 pieces of cheese and 24 pieces of bacon or ham.  Place a piece of cheese into each slit followed by a piece of bacon/ham (fold in half to fit if needed) and a pickled jalapeno slice.  

Transfer the chicken breasts to a lightly greased casserole dish and bake until the an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken breast registers 165 F, roughly 20-25 minutes.  Serve with a green salad or veggie of choice for a delicious low-carb meal or, if you want to bulk it up, add a carb of your choice (e.g., roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, or seasoned rice).  *See blog post or freezing instructions
