Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts
8 slices of bacon
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the skillet over medium heat and add olive oil (2 minutes).
2. While the skillet heats, season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper (2 minutes).
3. Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon, securing them with toothpicks if necessary (5 minutes).
4. Place the bacon-wrapped chicken in the skillet and cook until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes on each side (approximately 15 minutes).
5. Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat and spread cream cheese over each breast. Top with shredded cheddar cheese (3 minutes).
6. Cover the skillet and allow the cheese to melt, about 3 minutes (3 minutes).
7. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot (2 minutes).

Pro tip: For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the chicken before wrapping it in bacon.
