Method

10 steps · 45 min

01
Preheat Oven, Sweat Onions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a small skillet, melt the butter or heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions and sweat them until they're soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
02
Cook Garlic, Cool Onion Mix
Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute, just until fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
03
Render Bacon
In a separate skillet, cook the bacon over low heat until it's soft and some of its fat has rendered out, but don't let it brown or crisp. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
04
Pound and Season Chicken
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Using the smooth side of a meat mallet or a heavy pan, pound the chicken evenly until it's about 1/4-inch thick.
Season both sides generously with the salt and pepper.
05
Mix and Stuff Chicken
Once the onion and garlic mixture has cooled, stir it into the cream cheese until everything is well blended. Divide this filling evenly among the pounded chicken breasts, placing a dollop in the center of each.
06
Roll and Secure Chicken
Carefully roll or fold the chicken around the cream cheese filling, tucking the ends under to seal it. Secure each chicken package with toothpicks to keep the filling inside during baking.
07
Season and Wrap Chicken
Sprinkle the tarragon evenly over the outside of each chicken package. Then, wrap each one with a piece of the softened bacon, ensuring it covers the seam if possible.
08
Arrange and Drizzle
Arrange the wrapped chicken breasts in an 8x11 baking dish. Drizzle any remaining melted butter over the chicken.
09
Bake Chicken
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the bacon is nicely browned and crisp, and the cream cheese filling is hot and bubbly.
10
Serve
Serve the stuffed chicken breasts immediately, removing toothpicks before serving if desired.
