Which came first, in order of deliciousness, chicken or bacon? Frankly, the only thing that comes after a feast like this is pure happiness and potential heart problems. The recipe for “Bacon Stuffed Chicken Breast” is at the bottom. (We didn’t come up with this recipe, but unfortunately we didn’t save the website we found it on. Plus, we changed it up a bit.)
BACON STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST
- boneless chicken breast
- red bell pepper
- sweet onion
- celery
- bacon
- bleu cheese dressing (ranch works well also)
- shredded mozzarella cheese
- brown sugar
- paprika
- seasoned salt
- ginger
- tooth picks
Butterfly boneless chicken breast. Rub inside with olive oil and brown sugar.
Fill inside of each with 2 tbsp. mixture of finely diced red bell pepper, celery and sweet onion. Place one strip of bacon in center, leaving one end hanging out. Fold chicken over and fold bacon end over the top.
Wrap entire breast with bacon and pin with tooth picks. Coat with bleu cheese dressing and refrigerate for an hour or so, occasionally brushing with dressing.
Sprinkle with paprika, seasoned salt and a pinch of ginger.
Grill topside down first until done. Turn over and cover top with shredded mozzarella cheese, cover the grill and cook until chicken is done and cheese is melted.
That looks good. Maybe I will try it next time it is my night to cook.
Wow Rhett, I never new you had it in you… looks foody goody good!!!
Was this Leah’s doing??
It was good. We didn’t do it on the BBQ since we don’t have one so the bacon wasn’t crispy, but it still tasted so good.

I think my comment got sensored again… the one where I gave all credit to Leah…
Ya it was good. If you have a bbq, I definitely suggest cooking on it so the bacon is crispy, as Rhett said.
I thought we were promised a new post yesterday. [smiley with shaking finger]
