Let me just preface this with the fact that this stuffed bacon wrapped chicken is probably one of the unhealthiest meals that I cook. BUT I only cook it once a year. That makes it ok, right?

I got a variation of this recipe from Emeals, an awesome website that sends me dinner menus and grocery lists every week. LOVE this service!

      Ooh, that sounds yummy! Add a nice flavor, too.

    Sounds pretty good! I don’t eat cream cheese but might try it without sometime… I want to find a good source for nitrite-free bacon first. I recently became Paleo after 13 years of vegan/vegetarian so I would call this a relatively healthy entree!! And don’t worry, you don’t need to do any cardio to work it off… protein and fat are great! Maybe just lift some weights if you eat a high-carb dessert! 😉

      FYI… all foods contain nitrates! One trick is to cook your bacon at a lower temperature which doesn’t activate the nitrate/nitrites in the bacon or any food, keep temp at 350 or lower.

    For Adventures in Dressmaking, Trader Joes has nitrite-free bacon and I have recently bought some at Target, I think Applegate Farms brand? I also think spinach would be yummy in this and instead of cream cheese you could use a really good parm or mozz!

    Oh wow….I used to make this dish in my early 20’s (about 25 years ago). Of course back then they didn’t have this cream cheese yet. I added green onions in the softened cream cheese. That is the only difference. Haven’t made in a while but it definitely is delicious!!!!

      And now they have 15 different flavors of cream cheese out there, ha!
