1. To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F. This step ensures your oven is nice and hot, ready to work its magic on the Crispy Chicken Bacon Wraps.

2. Next, let’s prepare the chicken. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. This step is crucial for ensuring the chicken cooks evenly throughout.

3. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this flavorful mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they’re seasoned to perfection.

4. Now, let’s make the irresistible cheese filling. In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese until they’re well blended. This creamy, cheesy mixture will be the star of the show.

5. Time to wrap it all together! Lay two slices of bacon side by side, slightly overlapping. Place a chicken breast, cheese side up, at one end of the bacon and roll it up, securing it with toothpicks if necessary. Repeat this process for the remaining chicken breasts.

6. To get that mouthwatering crispiness, heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the chicken bacon wraps, seam side down, and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bacon is golden brown.

7. Finally, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the Crispy Chicken Bacon Wraps for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the oven, let them rest for 5 minutes, and then serve these cheesy, smoky delights, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
