Please allow me apologize now for the horrible picture quality - since it was his birthday the lighting was dimmed. ;) I'm just happy he was patient enough to let me snap some pictures before we dug in! And once we did, it was mouth-watering delicious!
Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts, pounded flat
6-8 slices of bacon, slightly cooked
1 8oz package of cream cheese, softened
1 package of Garlic and Herb Marinade mix (I used Weber brand, but any kind of flavor packet would work just fine. I almost used a french onion mix. I'm so glad I went with this one though because the marinade had a nice citrus taste to it that worked great with the creaminess of the cream cheese.)
Directions:
Mix cream cheese with half the package of marinade. Spread onto half of your chicken, fold over other side. Wrap your partially cooked bacon around your stuffed chicken and secure with tooth picks (or string). Bake on center oven rack for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. Optional - broil for 5 minutes at the end to crisp up bacon.
If any filling oozed out during cooking, just throw it on top as a garnish. :)
Everyone at the birthday dinner raved about this chicken - it was a hit!!
Now, if you want to watch that bacon sizzle, take a look at the video I made of me making it!
