- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (1 g)
- 1 squeeze lemon juice (5 ml)
- 3 ounces chicken breast (84 g)

Preparing this recipe
- Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
- Press the garlic clove.
- Mix the garlic with the cream cheese, Italian seasoning and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir together and season with salt and pepper.
- Make an incision in the side of the chicken breast with a knife. Fill the incision with the cream cheese mixture, seal it well and wrap the slices of bacon around the chicken breast. (You can also insert 2 skewers into the edge to keep the chicken breast closed.)
- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the chicken breast for 1 minute on each side until golden brown. Then transfer the chicken breast to an oven dish and bake for 15 minutes until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, cook the green beans in a pan of water for 8 minutes until tender. Serve the herb cream cheese chicken with the green beans.

It's also delicious to add some fresh thyme or rosemary to the cream cheese.
