Ingredients
- 4 large chicken breasts
- 8 slices bacon, cut in half
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being mindful not to cut all the way through. Fill those pockets with the shredded mozzarella cheese, then wrap the chicken with the two halves of bacon, securing them with toothpicks if needed.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and onion powder to create the sauce. Place the stuffed and wrapped chicken bombs in a baking dish, then pour the honey sauce over the top.
3. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. Let the Sticky Honey Bacon Cheese Chicken Bombs rest for a few minutes before garnishing them with fresh, chopped parsley.
Notes
To ensure the bacon crisps up beautifully, be sure to cut it into shorter halves before wrapping around the chicken. Using a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) is key to guaranteeing it’s cooked through without drying out. Allowing the Sticky Honey Bacon Cheese Chicken Bombs to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking helps keep it tender and juicy.
