Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

12-15 slices of bacon, cut in half (depending on the number of chicken pieces)

Toothpicks for securing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup.

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      Assemble the Bites: Take a piece of chicken, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture and place it on top. Form the chicken around the cheese filling, pressing it gently to seal.

        Wrap with Bacon: Take a half slice of bacon and wrap it tightly around the chicken piece, securing it with a toothpick. Repeat this process until all the chicken pieces are wrapped.

          Bake the Bites: Place the wrapped chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).

            Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes before serving. Carefully remove toothpicks and serve hot for a delicious appetizer or snack!
