Recipe Remix: Bacon Wrapped Chicken Stuffed with Goat Cheese

August 6, 2013 by Lindsay 23 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Hi Friends!

I’ve got a quick & easy recipe to share with you today! Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Stuffed with Goat Cheese & Asparagus.

This Bacon Wrapped Chicken looks fancy but couldn't be easier to make. Stuffed with goat cheese and asparagus it's sure to be a hit!

If you’ve been reading The Bean for a while now…and by that I mean like over 2 years…you may remember when I posted this Goat Cheese, Spinach & Bacon Stuffed Chicken. Hubby said it was the best chicken he’d ever had. And it was delicious.

This is just a fun little spin on that recipe, which mostly came about because I was lazy. I didn’t feel like cooking the bacon first, so instead of chopping it up and stuffing it inside, I just wrapped it around the outside. I didn’t have any spinach, so I just chopped up some asparagus and used that instead.

The end result was still delicious. Make either this version or the original and you’ll be happy!

Here’s the recipe for this version:

Pretty simple right? Sorry I wasn’t in the mood to get some nice photos for you. Just trust me when I say this is great for serving at dinner parties because it’s super easy to make, but looks semi-fancy!

Enjoy!

    That recipe has all of my favorites (especially goat cheese) in it, so this is a must try for me. My fiance will eat anything wrapped in bacon, so making this is a no brainer for me! Thanks for sharing!

    Looks good! I wonder how it would be with Laughing Cow Bleu cheese wedges? I’m looking for recipes to use them in! They’re not my favorite alone, but good with other ingredients.

    Would this work to stuff the breasts and freeze for baking at a later date?
