This recipe for bacon wrapped stuffed chicken breast with roasted potatoes is a quick and easy one pan meal that’s sure to please any crowd! The chicken is stuffed with an incredible combination of three cheeses, garlic and herbs.

Love bacon? I do too. I often make bacon wrapped asparagus, bacon deviled eggs and this amazing stuffed chicken dish.

As you already know, I’m a big fan of one pot and one pan meals like my Greek meatballs with lemon dill rice and my maple Dijon chicken with potatoes and carrots. While those type of meals are awesome in almost every way, it can sometimes be difficult to create one pot meals with boneless chicken breasts because the meat can get dry while you’re waiting for the other components of the meal to cook. This bacon wrapped stuffed chicken breast is the solution to the dry meat issue. The creamy three cheese filling provides plenty of flavor and moisture on the inside of the chicken and the bacon on the outside keeps the chicken from drying out. Everyone in my family cleaned their plates when I served this meal!

How do you make bacon wrapped stuffed chicken breast?

Have you ever stuffed a chicken breast before? It’s actually quite easy. The first step is to cut a slit along the side of the chicken breast with a small, sharp knife to create a pocket to hold the stuffing. You can either use a spoon to fill the chicken or put the filling into a large plastic bag and snip the tip to create a makeshift pastry bag to squeeze the filling into the chicken. After your chicken is stuffed, tightly wrap it in bacon so that minimal stuffing will leak out during the baking process. Place the chicken breasts on a pan along with some potatoes, then bake the until the chicken is cooked through, bacon is crispy and potatoes are tender. Add a sprinkle of parsley, then serve and enjoy.

Tips for stuffed chicken breast

A little bit of the stuffing may leak out during the cooking process – that’s normal and will just add more flavor to those potatoes that are already roasting away in the bacon drippings!
The filling for the chicken can be made up to 3 days in advance. You can also stuff the chicken and wrap it in bacon, then put it in a covered container for up to 8 hours before you plan to cook it.
Do not use thick cut bacon for this recipe, as it will take longer to get crispy in the oven.

Stuffed Chicken Breast Variations

There are so many different ways to customize this recipe to your personal tastes!

Stuffing: Try adding other flavors to the stuffing such as chopped spinach, sun dried tomatoes or diced artichokes.
Vegetables: In addition to the potatoes, add other veggies such as carrots, broccoli or cauliflower.
Potatoes: Swap out the red potatoes for sweet potatoes or even cubed butternut squash.
