Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a sheet pan with foil. Apply a coat of cooking spray on the lined pan.

Mix the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and Italian herbs in a bowl.

Lay your butterfly-cut chicken open, season it lightly with salt and pepper, then spread the cheese mix evenly onto one half of each chicken breast.

Fold the other half of the chicken back over the cheese filling, like a sandwich.

Wrap two slices of bacon around each stuffed chicken breast, ensuring it's well covered.

Place these bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on the prepared sheet pan and scatter the halved new potatoes around them.

Spritz the potatoes with cooking spray, season them with a dash of salt and pepper, followed by placing the pan in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

After the first round of baking, remove the pan from the oven, add the zucchini pieces to the pan, season them with a little bit of salt and pepper, then return the pan to the oven for an additional 20 minutes.

Once the baking time is over, switch the oven to broil to make the bacon on the chicken crispy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes, but keep a close watch to prevent burning.

Garnish the hot-out-of-the-oven Cheesilicious Bacon-Encased Chicken with some chopped parsley (if desired) before serving. Enjoy!
