    Everything tastes better, wrapped in bacon, right? As a cult classic, bacon lends flavor and provides a crispy finish to this stuffed chicken dish. Because the chicken breast is quite lean, the bacon provides a dose of fat, while the jalapeno mushroom stuffing brings a kick of flavor, too. 

    Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno-Mushroom Stuffed Chicken

    The technique of butterflying a chicken breast allows the breast to cook more evenly. It's also helpful in stuffed recipes because the chicken breast is wider and thinner, so it has more surface area to top with a delicious filling. 

    Butterflying chicken breasts may sound intimidating, but it's not as difficult as you may imagine. To cut a breast open, place each breast on the countertop or cutting board. Hold your knife parallel to the counter and start cutting until you’ve almost sliced the chicken breast into two flat pieces.

    You should be able to open the chicken breast flat on the cutting board, which gives you double the surface area to spread the jalapeno mushroom stuffing. 

    Serve with a cool watermelon salad or cucumber salad. If you have leftover stuffed chicken, slice it up and have it for lunch tomorrow!
