Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast

When people ask how I stay keto without feeling deprived, I make them this. Crispy bacon wrapped around juicy chicken stuffed with cream cheese and spinach — it is restaurant-quality and guilt-free.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 strips bacon
• ½ tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Make filling: Mix cream cheese, spinach, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Stuff chicken: Cut a pocket in each chicken breast. Stuff with cream cheese mixture. Season outside with paprika, salt, pepper.
3. Wrap and bake: Wrap each breast with 2 bacon strips. Bake at 400°F for 35-40 minutes until bacon is crispy and chicken reaches 165°F.

Tips

• Use a meat thermometer — do not overcook.
• Let rest 5 minutes before slicing to keep juices in.
