Triple Cheese Stuffed Chicken Wrapped in Bacon Ingredients
Chicken Breasts Streaky Bacon Cream Cheese Cheddar Mozzarella Garlic Powder Smoked Paprika BBQ Sauce
I know, is there literally a more delicious combo of ingredients out there!? You can really use any cheese you want to to be honest, but for me this combo works perfectly. You get that classic cheese pull effect with the mozzarella, a smooth creamy texture with the cream cheese and the back bone of the whole dish with a nice sharp cheddar.

Simples! So why fry before you bake? Good question – just baking it straight away won’t give you crispy bacon, especially because you’ve glazed it with BBQ sauce. By giving it a quick fry in the pan over high heat you’ll get a crispier finish, without the filling pouring out.
Tips for the best Chicken Wrapped in Bacon
Use streaky bacon – it fits more ‘neatly’ round the breast and packs in more flavour due to having a higher fat ratio then regular bacon. Wrap tightly and secure with toothpicks, there’s nothing worse than your bacon unwrapping when it’s cooking! Like we just discussed, fry to crisp up the bacon before you glaze and bake
Tips for the best Cheese Stuffed Chicken
Use a variety of cheese with different textures – here I use cream cheese, cheddar and mozzarella. Although cheese is obviously quite flavoursome, be sure to season – here I use salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Keep the filling as cool as you can before you stuff it, this will decrease the chance of it warming too early and leaking out everywhere.
Voila! Dreamy creamy cheesy goodness pouring out of a bacon wrapped chicken breast. Does not get more delicious than that! So, for your next chicken dinner be sure to spare a thought for this triple cheese stuffed chicken breast wrapped in bacon. You’re tastebuds are gonna LOVE you 😉
