Creamy Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Bombs with Ranch Dip

Ingredients:
For the chicken bombs:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin 🍗
8 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 🧀
1/4 cup chopped green onions 🌿
8 slices of bacon 🥓
1 tsp garlic powder 🧄
1/2 tsp paprika 🌶️
Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
Toothpicks (for securing bacon)
For the ranch dip:
1/2 cup mayonnaise 🥄
1/2 cup sour cream 🥛
1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix 🌿
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (optional) 🌱
1 tsp lemon juice 🍋
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat your oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. 🔥
2️⃣ Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. 🧀🌶️
3️⃣ Stuff the chicken: Lay each chicken breast flat and spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each. Roll up the chicken tightly, making sure to enclose the filling. 🍗🧀
4️⃣ Wrap with bacon: Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each stuffed chicken breast, securing the ends with toothpicks if needed. 🥓🍗
5️⃣ Bake: Place the bacon-wrapped chicken bombs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end. ⏳🔥
6️⃣ Make the ranch dip: While the chicken is baking, prepare the ranch dip by whisking together the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning mix, chopped dill (if using), and lemon juice in a small bowl. Chill until ready to serve. 🥛🍋🌿
7️⃣ Serve: Once the chicken bombs are done, remove the toothpicks and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with the homemade ranch dip on the side for dipping. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy, bacon-wrapped goodness! 🍽️🥓🧀
