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?
The best thing is that this is a quick and easy recipe that only calls for THREE INGREDIENTS!
- 2lbs of skinless boneless chicken breasts
- Chive and onion cream cheese
- 8 slices of Bacon
Directions:
1. Pound the chicken breasts with a meat tenderizer until 1/2 inch thick.
2. Spread each chicken breast with cream cheese and roll up.
3. Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each roll and secure with toothpicks.
4. Place on a broiler pan and cook for 35 minutes at 375 degrees turning once midway through cooking.
5. Turn oven broiler on and cook the chicken on the top rack for 3-5 minutes per side or until bacon is crispy.
And there you have it! Easy peasy dinner that is restaurant quality for those special occasions!
The recipe I gave you will make about 4-5 servings (depending on the size of the chicken breasts).
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!
HOPE YOU ENJOY!
Ok, now I have to go do some cardio to work off this meal 😉

August 1, 2013 at 7:32 pmSounds 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! 😉

June 26, 2015 at 7:05 amOh 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!!!!
