Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Irish Cream Stuffed Chicken with Bacon and Green Beans.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, take each chicken breast and gently create a pocket in the thick side.
Step 3
Now, let’s fill those pockets with a delicious mixture of 2 tablespoons of chopped bacon and a slice of provolone cheese.
Step 4
Repeat this for all your chicken breasts, ensuring they’re all stuffed with that savory goodness.
Step 5
Once you’ve got them ready, place the stuffed chicken breasts on a baking sheet and give them a light sprinkle of water to keep them moist during baking.
Step 6
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the chicken bake for about an hour, or until the chicken is cooked through, the bacon is crispy, and the provolone cheese is beautifully melted.
Step 7
While the chicken is baking, let’s prepare some delightful sides.
Step 8
Start by placing sliced red potatoes in a saucepan, covering them with water, and bringing it to a boil.
Step 9
Cook the potatoes over medium heat until they’re tender, which should take about 15 minutes.
Step 10
Once they’re ready, drain them well and set them aside.
Step 11
In another saucepan, gently heat 2/3 cup of heavy cream over low heat.
Step 12
Stir in shredded mozzarella cheese until it melts into a creamy dream, then pour this cheesy mixture over the drained potatoes and toss them to coat every piece in that luscious sauce.
Step 13
Next, let’s add some crispy green beans to the mix.
Step 14
In a skillet, cook 5 slices of bacon over medium heat until they start to brown but remain soft, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 15
Drain the fat and let the bacon cool slightly.
Step 16
Now, wrap each slice of bacon around 10 green beans and secure them with a toothpick.
Step 17
Repeat this process until all your bacon and green beans are wrapped up.
Step 18
In the same skillet, cook these delightful bundles over medium heat until the bacon is crispy and the green beans are tender, about 10 minutes, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
Step 19
To elevate those green bean bundles, pour in 2 fluid ounces of Irish cream liqueur and 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream.
Step 20
Spoon the creamy mixture over the bundles and sprinkle with chopped peanuts for a delightful crunch.
Step 21
Now, let’s make a rich mushroom sauce to top our chicken.
Step 22
In another skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat and add sliced mushrooms.
Step 23
Cook them until most of their liquid has evaporated, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 24
Stir in 5 fluid ounces of Irish cream liqueur and 2/3 cup of heavy whipping cream, bringing the mixture to a boil.
Step 25
Then, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
Step 26
Once everything is ready, it’s time to serve! Plate the baked stuffed chicken, generously drizzling the creamy mushroom sauce on top.
Step 27
Serve alongside the creamy potatoes and those crispy green bean bundles for a meal that’s sure to impress.
Step 28
Enjoy every bite of this delicious feast!.
