Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are tender and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Take two slices of bacon and wrap them around each chicken breast, securing them with toothpicks.
- Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts in the same skillet used for the mushrooms and cook over medium heat until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish. Remove the toothpicks.
- Top each chicken breast with the sautéed mushrooms and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
