Ingredients

1¼ pounds chicken breasts
10-ounce package frozen spinach, drained
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 pieces raw bacon
½ cup brown sugar

Instructions

Mix the spinach with the cream cheese, ½ teaspoon sea salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
Cut the chicken breast through the thickest portion lengthwise. Stuff the center of the chicken with the spinach mixture. Sprinkle the tops of the chicken with the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt.
Wrap each chicken breast with 2 pieces of bacon and secure with toothpicks. Place the chicken in a baking dish and sprinkle the top with the brown sugar. Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes, or until the centers reach 165°F. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes, then slice, serve, and enjoy.

Notes

Omit the brown sugar - if you're looking to make this recipe low-carb, simply omit the brown sugar. While it adds a really delicious caramelized finish to the chicken, the dish will still be perfect without it.

Make it dairy-free - use a dairy-free cream cheese (there are lots of brands that make it!) instead of regular to make this chicken dairy-free.
