Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally along one side, being careful not to cut all the way through. (2 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Stuff each pocket with mozzarella cheese and one-quarter of the minced garlic. (5 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each stuffed breast, ensuring the pocket opening is completely covered. Secure with toothpicks if needed. (5 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

In a shallow baking dish, combine red onion wedges and the remaining minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil. (3 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on top of the onion mixture and sprinkle with fresh rosemary. (2 minutes)

07

Step
30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (30 minutes)

08

Step

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the mozzarella filling.
If you don't have fresh rosemary, dried rosemary can be substituted. Use about 1/2 teaspoon.
To prevent the bacon from shrinking too much during baking, partially cook it in a pan before wrapping the chicken.
