Preparation Steps
1
Wash the chicken breasts and slice them thinly lengthwise. Gently pound them to an even thickness.
2
In a bowl, combine the cream cheese with the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to incorporate.
3
Spoon the cream cheese mixture onto each chicken breast slice, then roll them up tightly.
4
Wrap each chicken roll with a bacon slice and secure with a toothpick to prevent it from unraveling during cooking.
5
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on all sides until golden brown and the bacon is crisping up.
6
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
7
Serve immediately with sides like steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes.
