Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup chopped bacon
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Use a sharp knife to make a deep pocket in the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  2. Sauté the Filling: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and bacon and cook until the mushrooms are browned and the bacon is crispy, about 5 more minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stuff the Chicken: Spoon the mushroom mixture into the pockets of the chicken breasts. Secure the openings with toothpicks.
  4. Bake the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired. Enjoy your Keto-Friendly Creamy Mushroom Stuffed Chicken with Bacon!
