  • 1

Ingredients

  • Chicken Breast
  • Bacon
  • Seasoning Salt
  • Cream Cheese
  • Garlic salt
  • Shredded Cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Start out with your chicken breast on top of a layer of plastic wrap, then another piece of plastic wrap on top.

Then hit the chicken with your meat tenderizer.Be careful not to get holes in your chicken.

Next, lay out some bacon on a plate. 3-4 pieces vertically, and 2 pieces horizontally.

Lay your chicken in the center of the bacon. I also sprinkled a little bit of seasoning salt on the chicken.Mix together some cream cheese and garlic salt. Spread a layer of the mixture on the chicken, then add a little bit of shredded cheddar cheese.

Roll the chicken up a little and fold up the horizontal pieces of bacon, making sure the sides are covered. then fold up the vertical pieces and secure with a toothpick if they won't stay.

Lay the chicken seam side down on a greased pan.I just put mine onto some tinfoil on top of the pan and it worked great.

Bake at 400° for about 45 minutes, turning it over about halfway through.

Then turn the oven up to 500° or broil (watch closely!!) to brown the bacon and make it crispy. You can turn the chicken over again to make sure all the bacon is cooked. *If you cut open the chicken after all of this & the bacon still isn't cooked all the way through, you can put it back in the oven for another 15 minutes or so and it will be perfect! Serve with some yummy garlic mashed potatoes or rice, and enjoy!This is also great without the bacon. Just cook for the 45 minutes and it's all done. I've also considered cooking the bacon first, crunching it up and mixing the bacon bits in the filling.
