How to Make Keto Bacon-Wrapped Avocado Chicken Bombs
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create a pocket, but not all the way through.

Season inside and out with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stuff each breast with avocado slices and cheddar.
-
Wrap each stuffed breast with 3 slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
-
Place on baking sheet and bake 25 minutes. Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end to crisp the bacon.

Rest 5 minutes before serving, removing toothpicks.
