Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
8 slices of bacon
1 cup Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning
1 cup spinach leaves
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and the bacon becomes crispy.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Breasts

Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning to enhance the flavor.

Step 3: Make the Stuffing

In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, spinach leaves, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Mix until well combined.

Step 4: Stuff the Chicken

Spoon the stuffing mixture onto each chicken breast. Carefully roll them up tightly without spilling the filling.

Step 5: Wrap with Bacon

Take the rolled chicken breasts and wrap each one with two slices of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks to keep the stuffing inside.

Step 6: Grill the Chicken

Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on the grill. Cook them for about 25 to 30 minutes, turning occasionally. Ensure the bacon is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 7: Prepare the Cream Sauce

While the chicken is grilling, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning, and Dijon mustard in a saucepan. Simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 8: Serve

Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and discard the toothpicks. Serve the grilled stuffed chicken topped with the creamy sauce and enjoy your meal!

Notes

Note 1: Chicken Thickness

Ensure that the chicken breasts are pounded to an even thickness to promote consistent cooking.

Note 2: Bacon Crispiness

For extra crispiness, you can briefly sear the bacon-wrapped chicken on direct heat before moving it to indirect heat to finish cooking.

Note 3: Alternative Cheeses

Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or feta, to customize the flavor profile of your stuffed chicken.

Note 4: Storage

Leftover grilled stuffed chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
