Preheat. Preheat your grill, smoker, or oven to 350 degrees F for indirect cooking.
Make the filling. In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the spinach artichoke filling. (You can also use your favorite pre-made spinach artichoke dip for this recipe if desired).
4 ounces cream cheese, ½ cup marinated artichokes with the brine, ¼ cup cooked spinach, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, ½ cup mozzarella cheese
Season the chicken. In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the spice seasoning. Sprinkle liberally on all sides of the chicken breasts.
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
Fill the chicken. On a large cutting board, slice the chicken breasts open, without slicing all the way through the breasts. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of the filling mixture into each breast and fold them closed.
Wrap in bacon. Wrap each chicken breast with about 3 slices of bacon. Secure the bacon ends with toothpicks, if necessary.
12 slices bacon
Grill. Place the chicken breasts on the smoker or grill, close the lid and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. This will take about 30-45 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken.
Serve. Remove the chicken breasts from the grill or oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
