Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Chicken
This recipe is from the Six Ingredients with Six Sisters ’Stuff cookbook. It was something different so we gave it a try and really liked it. You can serve this with anything you want on the side: rice, noodles, veggies, a big salad, etc.
- 1½ lb boneless chicken breasts (sliced so that you have 6 very thin pieces, pounded)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 7.5 ounces chive & onion cream cheese spread (about one tub)
- 6 slices bacon
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a broiler-safe 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Prepare your chicken breasts. Slice so that they are ¼ inch thick and then pound them. Season with salt and pepper. Spread 1-2 tablespoons cream cheese spread over each chicken breast.
- Roll up each chicken breast and then wrap or roll a piece of bacon around it. Secure with a toothpick, if necessary, and lay seam-side down in prepared pan.
- Bake 30 minutes, turning chicken over after 20 minutes. Adjust oven temperature and broil on high 2-5 minutes on each side until bacon becomes crisp. Be careful when broiling, as things can burn very quickly! Enjoy!
