I have, too! So, what makes this one so good? Why am I urging you to give it a go? Because of the diversity available.

Are you the kind of cook who follows a recipe, word by word, measurement by measurement? Or, do you take the core idea and wing it? Maybe you’re a bit of both? For me, I stray.

I’m in the process of moving and have already packed a good amount of my spices and seasonings. I’ve left myself with the core ones that I use on the regular.

Like these triplets of all things wonderful about seasoned salt. Meet Momofuku.

Adding the Savory Seasoned Salt to this chicken dish made all the difference for me. So, I know you can and should personalize this low-carb bacon-wrapped chicken to perfectly match all the flavors and spices you love.

Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast

Here’s everything you may need to know or think about as you prepare this tasty chicken dinner.

I started with these ingredients: chicken, bacon, spinach, scallions, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, pepper jack cheese, and spices.

Next, trim any fat and cut a little pocket in the chicken. Slice a 2-3 inch hole in the thickest part. Or, slice that baby in half, if your chicken is on the thin side. Above all, don’t worry as the bacon acts like wrapping paper holding your stuffing mixture in place. However, little bits of stuffing will inevitably escape. This adds character to your dinner.

I poured all of the spices into a bowl and hit all sides of the chicken including the pocket we just created. Hence elevating the stuffed portion of our dish. Next, stuff that baby. Here is what mine looked like:

After that, you wrap your stuffed chicken in bacon. Which ended up looking like this for me:

Now, let’s draw your attention to the chicken in the background. While the foreground was wrapped like a dream, do you see the error I made on the other one? Check it out here.

Do you see that sloppy piece of bacon that I didn’t tuck in? That piece of bacon fell off during the searing process exposing more of the stuffing mixture than intended and making it look ugly. Meanwhile, the other piece cooked perfectly for me. The key is to use a criss-cross pattern with the bacon, tucking in the end pieces far enough that they do not come loose when they shrink during the cooking process. Similarly, you could use toothpicks to set the bacon.

All was not lost, however. I still fully cooked and completely devoured the “ugly” piece.
