Chicken, and bacon, better yet, crispy bacon. They are two of my favorite foods both in one easy recipe. I had some extra boneless-skinless chicken breasts on hand and was looking for an easy dinner which brings us today’s recipe for Bacon Wrapped Chicken. What really surprised me was the number of ingredients in this recipe, there are very few! I feel the chive and onion cream cheese is a huge ingredient in the flavor department and does most of the work for you. Try and pound the chicken breasts down with a mallet as thinly as possible because they will roll up a lot easier. If you want to do some outdoor grilling these can also be grilled as well. They go great with a side dish of pasta or flavored rice. Enjoy.
Bacon Wrapped Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 boneless skinless chicken breasts halves
- 2 (8 oz) cartons chive and onion cream cheese
- 12 slices of bacon
- salt (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Between 2 sheets of wax paper with a mallet flatten chicken breasts to ½” thickness.
- Spread 3 tablespoons of cream cheese over each chicken breast. Then Dot with butter and season with salt. Wrap with bacon and stick a toothpick through the rolled chicken breast to hold it together. Roll up and stick a toothpick through to hold it together.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes (or until juices run clear).
- Turn on the broiler and broil six inches from the heat for 5 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
