Chicken Breast Stuffed with Spinach Blue Cheese and Bacon
  1. 1

    Cook the bacon until crisp. An indoor grill works well, but you can also cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat or in the microwave for about 1 minute per slice. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, mix the spinach and blue cheese together. Crumble in the bacon and stir to distribute.

  3. 3

    Lay the chicken breast halves on a clean surface and spread the spinach mixture evenly in the centers. Fold the chicken over the filling and secure with toothpicks. On a dinner plate, stir together the flour, salt, and pepper. Roll the chicken in the flour to coat.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly brown each piece of chicken on the top and bottom. Transfer to a lightly greased baking dish and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.

  5. 5

    Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the chicken juices run clear and the filling is hot.
