Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breast fillets
  • 1 (4 ounce) ball water-packed fresh mozzarella cheese, drained and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, cut in half, divided
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Make a pocket in each of the chicken breasts by slicing down one side, making sure to not slice all the way through. Stuff each pocket with mozzarella cheese and a 1/4 the minced garlic. Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each stuffed breast and secure in place with toothpicks. The pocket opening should be completely covered.
  • Combine onion and remaining garlic in a shallow baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Place stuffed chicken breasts on top and sprinkle with rosemary.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
