Bacon Wrapped Chicken

So I decided that I would put my Bacon Wrapped Chicken Recipe online for all of my friends and family. I don't personally eat meat but Jonathan tells me that he absolutely loves when I make this for him and that it tastes like it can be from a restaurant.

Ok so you're going to need:
- Chicken Breast halves (obviously as many as you need)
- Bacon
- Phillipehias Onion and Chive Cream Cheese
- Salt

First preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Then spread the chicken out in between two sheets of parchment paper. You'll need to pound the chicken down until they're easier to roll. Once that is done, spread two teaspoons of the cream cheese on the chicken (the side facing up). Also, you can use as much cream cheese as you'd like but don't use too much because it will come out of the side on the chicken when you roll it. After you spread the cream cheese on all of the chicken halves add a pinch of salt. Then begin to roll the chicken (like...a fruit rollup).

Once this step is complete you're going to wrap the bacon around the chicken. Since Jonathan LOVES bacon I usually use three pieces but two definitely works. Keep the bacon into place with tooth picks, line your baking pan and place in the oven. You will bake the chicken approximately between 35 - 40 minutes. Then turn on the broiler and put the tray back into the oven for 5 minutes so that the bacon gets crispy.

Your chicken will be moist, your bacon will be crispy and you won't need to add anything for flavor afterwards!! =)

This meal is about $15 total to make 5 chicken breasts. It cost me around $9.50 for the breasts and $1.99 for the cream cheese. ( I bought 2 tubs of the cream cheese).

I usually serve this with cheesy mashed potatoes(recipe to come) and asparagus (or broccoli).

ENJOY!! =)
