Ingredients:
* 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
* 8 oz cream cheese, softened

4. Stuff each chicken breast generously with the cream cheese mixture.
5. Season the outside of the chicken with salt and paprika.
6. Lay out bacon strips in a woven pattern (over-under) to form a rectangle for each breast.
7. Place stuffed chicken on the bacon weave and wrap tightly around each piece.
8. Lightly brush with olive oil and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Pro Tip:
Secure the bacon weave with toothpicks before baking to keep everything tight and ensure that perfect crispy wrap all around!
