Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • smoked paprika to taste
  • garlic powder to taste
  • 1 cup guacamole about 1/4 cup per breast
  • 8 bacon slices 2 per breast

Optional spinach side from source

  • 3 cups spinach
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 red onion
  • roasted red peppers for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, leaving only a small opening. Season breasts with salt, pepper, smoked paprika and garlic powder.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup guacamole into each breast. Wrap each tightly with 2 slices of bacon to help seal the opening.
  • Pan-sear the wrapped breasts, then transfer to a 350°F oven. Bake until the center reaches 165°F, about 30 minutes.
  • Rest before eating; the guacamole filling becomes extremely hot. Slicing crosswise helps release steam.
  • For the optional side described in the source, sauté spinach with garlic and red onion and garnish with roasted red peppers.

Notes

The source is an informal recipe note and does not specify quantities for the chicken breasts or seasonings; 4 breasts is inferred from the stated 1/4 cup guacamole per breast and approximately 1 cup filling. Adjust as needed.
