Recipe: Bacon Wrapped Chicken


I stumbled across this recipe while searching for something else. I tried it the other night and really enjoyed it so I figured I'd pass it along..

4 chicken cutlets (Even though I use cutlets, I still pounded them out to make them thinner)
chive and onion cream cheese
bacon
salt and pepper

Pound out the chicken cutlets. If you use breasts, you'll really have to pound them out. Season with salt and pepper. Smear your desired amount of cream cheese on each chicken breast and roll them up. Wrap a slice of bacon around each chicken breast. You can secure it with a toothpick if you think it's necessary.
It's up to you what pan to bake it on- if you use a baking dish, it'll keep the chicken more moist because the juices will stay with the chicken. The downside is that the bacon on the bottom will not be crispy. If you cook it on a broiler pan you will have crispier bacon all around but you risk your chicken being drier if you over cook. Do what you want! Personally, I backed it in a glash dish and then switched it to a broiler pan. Bake 35 minute at 400 and broil for another 5 to get the bacon crispy.

  8. I also tried this the other night when you tweeted about it and loved it! I actually put the bacon in the microwave for a minute before I wrapped it around the chicken and cooked it on a baking rack on broiler pan and it turned out perfect!

  12. This sounds delicious! I make a similar version using Boursin garlic and herb cheese, you can also cut up some cremini mushrooms and mix them into to the cheese for a twist on the stuffing! Mmm!!

  15. Thank you for the great recipe! I will try this out sometime this week and let you know how it goes. Although, let's just say my cooking usually does not end well. ;)

    I started a blog that I think you might like too. It combines fashion and giving back to charities. Each week, I will give away 1 Lilly Pulitzer dress (this week it’s the Pink Adelson Shift from Spring 2010) to one lucky follower, who raises awareness of the blog's selected charity through various ways such as tweeting about it or commenting with an interesting fact. I am currently also giving away some great Lilly stationary items too. Please check out my blog at www.shop4charity.blogspot.com because doing good is chic!
