Ingredients
Hearty chicken sandwich
Instructions
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with a good pinch of salt and pepper. In a big bowl, mix together the ham, mayo, sour cream, the cheese blend, mozzarella, Parmesan, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until everything is well combined. Spoon about half a cup of this mixture onto each chicken breast, then carefully roll them up around the filling. Wrap each rolled breast with two slices of bacon, securing them with toothpicks to keep everything in place.
Step 2
Next, pour some bread crumbs into a shallow dish and roll each chicken breast in them, making sure they’re nicely coated. Place the chicken in a baking dish and pop it in the oven. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear—an instant-read thermometer should register at least 165°F (74°C) in the center. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
