Bacon Wrapped Guacamole Stuffed Chicken

Bacon Wrapped Guacamole Stuffed Chicken

Tender chicken breast stuffed with creamy guacamole and wrapped in bacon that’s grilled until the bacon is nice and crispy!

It’s time to pull your grills out and celebrate summer by making these bacon wrapped guacamole stuffed chicken breasts! I took two of my favourite foods, bacon and avocado and combined them into a tasty dinner that is just begging to be grilled! Although this recipe might look a little challenging with the stuffing and the wrapping, it’s actually pretty easy! You start off by pounding the chicken breasts until they are about 1/4 inch thick with a meat mallet (I have used a rolling pin to do this) and then you just place the guacamole on top of one side and roll it up. You can either wrap the bacon around the chicken one slice at a time to ensure a single layer of bacon or you can just lay a few strips of bacon out, place the chicken on one end and wrap it all up in one go. The essential thing about this recipe is to get the bacon nice and crispy and this is easy on the grill but if you are stuck indoors you can either pan fry the wrapped chicken and then place it in the oven or you can cook it in the oven and then turn the oven up to broil. No matter how you do it this bacon wrapped guacamole stuffed chicken is sure to be the talk of the town!

I know what you are thinking right now: “But Kevin, this meal only includes two of the three major food groups; you’ve got the bacon and avocado but where is the cheese?” Well, I’ve got you covered, or rather I got these tasty bacon wrapped guacamole stuffed chicken breasts covered, in plenty of cheese and then placed back on the grill until it melts!

  2. Grill over indirect medium heat, with the lid down, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked (160F to 165F), about 20-30 minutes, or bake in a preheated 400F/200C oven on a wire rack on a baking pan until cooked, about 20-30 minutes, turning the oven to broil for the last few minutes to ensure that the bacon is crispy.

    how do you keep the bacon wrapped neatly? My bacon wrapped stuff (jalapeno poppers for example) completely falls apart with the bacon flopping around and getting burnt on the ends…

    Anonymous: I laid several strips of bacon out on a surface with a little overlap between each slice, placed the chicken on one and and rolled everything up. After that I made sure that the side with the loose ends of the bacon were down on the grill so they cooked onto the next layer down nice and solidly.

    Does your avocado not go bitter? I've cooked with avocado on pizza before and it just gets this bitter taste when cooked. Not sure if the same would happen here?

    I have always had the same problem Anon reported about bacon-wrapped anything refusing to stay rolled on the grill. Then I realized the problem was that my favorite bacon –thick sliced–is too thick to stay wrapped and too thick to "weld together" as Kevin described. Thin works better, tho it cooks too quickly if fire is too hot.

    This looks like something that I need to try cooking. I love chicken, guacamole, and most of all bacon. The cheese you add at the end definitely makes this an amazing dish. I'll definitely have to make this for dinner some time soon. http://www.saladmenu.com/salad-recipes/saladmenublogavocado-stuffed-chicken?rq=avocado%20stuffed%20chicken

    These were absolutely delicious! We followed the recipe exactly. We baked and then broiled them as written and they were a big hit! Regular cut bacon (not super thin and not thick) works best for this recipe. Thank you Kevin for yet another wonderful recipe. We will be making these again.

    Stuffing chicken is difficult under the best of circumstances. It is especially hard with guacamole due to its oozy nature. I was able to make three of these before I gave up and make breaded cutlets of the remainder. I amped up the spice in the guacamole as I thought, and was confirmed, that the stuffing would be overruled by the flavor of bacon. In theory this sounds great but I found the filling to be dry and unpleasant. I think it would be better to just wrap and cook the chicken with the bacon and serve the guacamole on top or to the side.

    Lovely recipe but here are a few minor comments:

    10 min. prep time would be accurate if breasts were butterflied and you bought guacamole at a grocery store; however, butterflied breasts are not evenly thick and homemade guac. is vastly superior. Therefore, prep time should be more like 30~45 minutes.

    I fry my bacon separately until it just begins to brown but is still very flexible. I then bake as per directions and very little broiling is necessary. If you fry wrapped breasts in a pan before placing in oven you run the risk of overcooking the chicken. These additional steps more than double cooking time.

    I want to know how everyone managed to not lose their patience with a slippery piece of raw chicken, slippery piece of raw bacon, and slippery guacamole. It was a disaster. There was a ton of wasted guac falling out the ends and everywhere else.

    Do this without the guac. Guac cooked is revolting.

    I made this for my family (including 2 pre-teens). I have to say I was a little concerned about cooking the guacamole, but it was just fine – as if it hadn't been in the oven for almost 30 minutes!. I pounded the breasts thin and carefully rolled them jelly-roll style. I also used 4 strips of bacon per breast: one wrapped lengthwise across the "chicken seam" and the ends and the other three wrapped as instructed. Doing this circumvented any need for toothpicks as the bacon created a fine "envelope." When wrapping, I made sure that the "chicken seam" was UP while the "bacon seam" was DOWN during the baking/broiling.
    After broiling for a few minutes at the end I broiled them for a few more minutes after turning the breasts over to crisp up the bottoms a bit. I didn't experience any juices leaking until I turned them over, but they held together beautifully and were not dry at all (no doubt thanks to the bacon!)

    Pretty darn easy, too. This recipe is a keeper.

    I would imagine it would be pretty easy to prepare these in advance as well – prepare and assemble them the day before and just pop them in the oven the "day of." Hmmm… I wonder how well these would freeze (uncooked)…

    Will definitely be trying this one. I am going to mix finely shredded mozzarella with my guacamole before spreading that mixture on chicken breasts. I like my cheese melted and stringey…..not charbroiled. Keep those tasty recipes coming!!!

    HI, I have a brand off Guac that I love to use with my Taco’s. Could I just use this. It is something that I buy in a contained in the store. I know its not homemade, but I like it ;o}

    I buy the Spicy Guac in a small container. Do you think I found use this and follow the rest of the directions. I scores in a small container that is stored in the fridge until ready to use. I generally put it on taco, I really like this guac.

    Thanks, Jan
