Bacon-Wrapped Gouda Stuffed Chicken

When I was little, my stepdad would buy gouda on occasion and we'd eat with Ritz crackers. I quite literally haven't had it in a decade and I saw this chicken being passed around Pinterest and all those memories came swarming back. My hubs is a little weary of trying new things. I tried to explain to him that gouda (from what I remembered) was smokey and kind of like cheddar. I decided to go ahead and plan to make this and convince Nick to love gouda cheese.

I brought it home and had him smell it first. I tried it - and remembered exactly why I loved it. I made him try a piece - even though he looked like I was trying to poison him. I wish I would've taken a picture of his expression after tasting it - he was seriously blown away and wondering why he'd never tried it before. I think it's safe to say it's his new favorite cheese. Gouda is the bacon of cheese. Really.
