Bacon Wrapped Chicken
Prep: 15 min. Bake: 30 min.
In her kitchen in Ponca City, Oklahoma, LaDonna R. spreads
chicken breasts with a creamy filling, rolls them up, wraps
them in bacon and bakes them. For a spicier version, she
suggests that you try using sliced jalapeno peppers instead
of green chilies.
4 bacon strips
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt, optional
1/4 cup canned chopped green chilies
1-1/2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 garlic clove, minced
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially
cooked but not crisp; drain on paper towels. Flatten chicken to
1/4-in. thickness. Sprinkle with seasoned salt if desired.
In a small bowl, combine the chilies, cream cheese and garlic.
Spread over one side of each chicken breast. Roll up and tuck
ends in. Wrap each with two bacon strips; secure with toothpicks.
Place in an 8-in. square baking dish coated with nonstick
cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 30-35 minutes or
until chicken juices run clear. Discard toothpicks.
Yield: 2 servings.
Nutritional Analysis: One serving (prepared with reduced-fat
cream cheese; calculated without seasoned salt) equals 316
