Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. In a big bowl, mix together the ham, mayonnaise, sour cream, the cheese blend, mozzarella, Parmesan, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until everything is well combined. Spoon about half a cup of this filling onto each chicken breast, then roll them up tightly. Wrap each roll with two slices of bacon and secure them with toothpicks to keep everything in place. Next, pour some bread crumbs into a shallow bowl and roll each bacon-wrapped chicken breast in the crumbs to coat them evenly. Place the prepared chicken in a baking dish and pop it in the oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. To be sure, an instant-read thermometer should register at least 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part. Let them rest a few minutes before serving, and enjoy!

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use a meat mallet to even out the chicken breasts for uniform cooking.
- Secure the filling inside with toothpicks to prevent it from spilling out while cooking.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep it juicy and tender.
