Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the mashed avocado, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
3. Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
4. Divide the avocado and bacon mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, filling the pockets.
5. Secure the openings of the chicken breasts with toothpicks to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
6. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
7. Add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
9. Remove the toothpicks from the chicken breasts and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
10. Slice and serve the oven-roasted chicken breasts stuffed with avocado and bacon alongside your favorite sides.
