01
Prepare and Stuff Chicken
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with a bit of salt and pepper. In a big bowl, mix together the ham, mayonnaise, 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 filling onto each chicken breast, then roll them up around the filling. Wrap each roll with two slices of bacon and use toothpicks to hold everything together.
02
Coat and Bake Chicken
Next, pour some bread crumbs into a shallow dish and roll each bacon-wrapped chicken breast in them until they're nicely coated. Place the chicken pieces in a baking dish and pop them in the oven. Bake for around 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle. If you have a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should hit 165°F (74°C). Let them rest a few minutes before serving, and enjoy!

How to serve

Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the chicken moist. Avoid freezing if the filling contains delicate ingredients like fresh herbs or cheese.
