Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 tsp red pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tsp white pepper. Mix well.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
- Cut the gouda cheese into 8 equal-sized pieces to match the size of the chicken breasts.
- Make a horizontal cut along the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each pocket with a slice of gouda cheese.
- Cut each strip of bacon in half so you have 8 pieces total.
- Wrap one bacon piece around each chicken breast, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
- Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the bacon is crispy.
- Remove the toothpicks before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious bacon-wrapped smoked gouda chicken breasts!
Tips:
- Ensure the chicken breasts are of even thickness for consistent cooking.
- Use toothpicks to secure the bacon around the chicken breasts to prevent it from unraveling during cooking.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in your favorite marinade for a few hours before assembling the dish.
- Cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute and keep the meat moist.
Enjoy your delicious bacon wrapped smoked gouda chicken breasts! The smoky flavor of the gouda combined with the crispy bacon makes for a truly memorable meal. This recipe is great for dinner parties, special occasions, or a comforting family dinner.
