Indulge in these creamy spinach and sausage stuffed chicken bombs for a quick, easy, and satisfying dinner bursting with flavor.
Ingredients
- • boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 4
- • spicy Italian sausage, removed from casing: 1/2 pound
- • fresh spinach leaves, chopped: 2 cups
- • cream cheese, softened: 4 ounces
- • shredded mozzarella cheese: 1 cup
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • onion powder: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • bacon strips: 8
- • olive oil: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into small pieces. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.
- 3 In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage and spinach with cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- 4 Cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff each pocket with the sausage mixture, packing it tightly.
- 5 Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with two strips of bacon, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.
- 6 Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts and sear until the bacon is crispy and golden, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- 7 Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- 8 Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These stuffed chicken bombs pair beautifully with a crisp side salad or roasted vegetables to balance the richness of the dish. Consider serving with a creamy garlic mashed potato for an extra indulgent touch. A chilled glass of white wine, such as a Chardonnay, complements the savory flavors perfectly.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or use a microwave on a low setting to maintain moisture.
