Keto bacon-wrapped chicken with blue cheese and ham

Keto bacon-wrapped chicken with blue cheese and ham is a decadent yet keto-friendly twist on the classic French dish. This recipe combines the savory flavors of ham and blue cheese, all wrapped in crispy bacon, making it a delightful and satisfying low-carb meal.

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts
470g
1/3 cup blue cheese
44g
4 slices ham
110g
8 bacon strips
100g
2 tbsp butter
27g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken Breasts: Using a sharp knife, carefully make a horizontal slit along the thin side of each chicken breast to create a pocket. Be cautious not to cut all the way through.
3. Stuff Chicken Breasts:
- Open each pocket and place a slice of ham inside.
- Add about a tablespoon (or a quarter of the total amount) of crumbled blue cheese inside each ham slice.
- Fold the ham slice over the cheese to help keep it contained within the chicken.
4. Wrap with Bacon:
- Carefully wrap two strips of bacon around each stuffed chicken breast, ensuring the ends are tucked underneath to secure them. You can use toothpicks if necessary to ensure the bacon stays in place.
5. Sear Chicken Breasts:
- In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts. Sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bacon starts to get crispy and browned.
6. Bake the Chicken:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
7. Rest and Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and flavorful chicken.
8. Garnish and Enjoy:
- Optionally, garnish with some fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad to keep it low-carb and keto-friendly.

Tips:

- Make sure the chicken breasts are flattened evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.

- Use toothpicks or kitchen twine to secure the bacon and keep the filling in place while cooking.

- For extra flavor, consider seasoning the chicken breasts with some garlic powder, salt, and pepper before adding the cheese and ham.

- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after baking to let the juices redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender bite.

- If you prefer a crispier bacon exterior, you can broil the chicken for a few minutes at the end of the baking time, but keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Your keto bacon-wrapped chicken is now ready to be served! Cut into the juicy chicken to reveal the rich and creamy blue cheese and ham within. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or just when you want to indulge in a delicious, low-carb delight.
