Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then slice each lengthwise into 2 thin fillets to create a pocket for the bacon and cream cheese.
  2. Step 2: Wrap each chicken fillet tightly with 2 bacon slices, securing with toothpicks. Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and season with 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 20-22 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally and bacon is crispy, flipping halfway through. While baking, melt 2 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp dried thyme, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Remove chicken from oven, let rest 5 minutes. Mix melted butter with 3 oz cream cheese and 2 tbsp chopped parsley until smooth. Drizzle sauce over chicken and serve immediately.
