Ingredients

• 4 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded thin, or more to taste
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup diced ham
• 1 cup low-fat mayonnaise (such as Smart Balance®)
• 1 cup low-fat sour cream
• ½ cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (Optional)
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• 8 slices bacon, or more to taste (Optional)
• 8 toothpicks, or as needed
• ¼ cup whole wheat bread crumbs, or as needed

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Season chicken with salt and pepper.
2. Mix ham, mayonnaise, sour cream, Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika together in a large bowl. Place 1/2 cup mixture on each chicken breast. Roll chicken over filling, wrap with 2 slices bacon, and secure with toothpicks.
3. Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Roll each chicken breast in bread crumbs to coat. Place chicken in a baking dish.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
