Ingredients

  1. 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  2. Kosher salt
  3. Freshly ground black pepper
  4. 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
  5. 1/2 c. frozen spinach, defrosted, drained, and squeezed
  6. 1/3 c. chopped canned artichoke hearts
  7. 1 c. shredded mozzarella, divided
  8. Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  9. 4 strips bacon, cut into 4 strips
  10. 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Make slits widthwise in chicken, being careful not to cut all the way through chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Place on prepared baking sheet.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, spinach, artichokes, and ½ cup of mozzarella. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Fill every other slit with cream cheese mixture and fill remaining slits with a piece of bacon. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup mozzarella on top and drizzle with oil.
  3. Bake until chicken is cooked through and bacon is crispy, 35 minutes.
