Indulge in the decadence of this Four Cheese Bacon Stuffed Smothered Chicken Casserole, where tender chicken breasts are filled with a rich and creamy cheese mixture, wrapped in savory bacon, and smothered in a luxurious cream sauce. It's a comforting and satisfying dish that will leave everyone at the table craving more.
Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese. 1 cup shredded Gouda cheese. 1 cup heavy cream. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon dried thyme. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Instructions: Before you start cooking, heat the oven to 375F 190C. Each chicken breast should have a pocket cut into it. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Put the cooked bacon, mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and Gouda cheeses in a bowl and mix them together. Put some of the cheese mixture inside each chicken breast, and then use toothpicks to close the holes. Add salt, pepper, and dried thyme to the stuffed chicken breasts to make them taste better. Put the olive oil in a pan and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about one minute, until the garlic smells good. Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 34 minutes per side after putting them in the pan. Put the chicken breasts in a casserole dish. Cover the chicken breasts with the heavy cream by pouring it over them. Bake in an oven that is already hot for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the chicken is done. If you want, you can serve it hot and top it with extra shredded cheese and bacon.
