Place one portion of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each butterflied chicken breast half. Fold the chicken over the filling, gently wrapping it to enclose the cream cheese mixture. Secure the closure by wrapping each chicken breast with a slice of turkey bacon, using toothpicks to hold everything in place if needed. Arrange the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish.

Generously pour the melted butter over the prepared chicken breasts in the baking dish. (2 minutes)

Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bacon is crisp and golden brown, and the chicken is cooked through, with the internal temperature reaching 165°F (74°C). Ensure that the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork. (30 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cream cheese mixture.
If you don't have turkey bacon, regular bacon works just as well.
Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices in the cream cheese filling.
