Whats on the Menu..

I have gotten LOTS and LOTS of request for more recipes..Well good thing.. I already have a ton of them done and in " draft " mode that I can get posted quickly for you guys.. The hard part is picking out the ones that I think are the best! I made this recipe maybe 6 months ago and it was a HUGE hit..

So hope you like it!

 

Cream Cheese & Bacon Chicken

4 chicken breasts
1/2 block soft cream cheese
fresh chives
bacon strips (about 10)
salt to taste
2-4 T. butter

Cream Sauce

1/2 c. water
3T. butter
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 c. heavy cream
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 c. shredded Parmesan
salt and pepper to taste
1 T. cornstarch

1. Put the chicken into a gallon-size Ziploc and pound to about 1/8" thickness. Mix together the chopped chives (about 2 T.) and the soft cream cheese. Spread about a T. or so onto each flattened chicken breast. Top with a few small pats of butter.

 

2. Roll up the chicken and wrap a couple of bacon slices around. Secure with a toothpick. Lay the rolls in a greased baking dish and sprinkle with a dash of salt. Put into a 375 degree oven for about an hour, or until juices run clear, uncovered. (you can broil the last few minutes if you want the bacon really crisp).

3. While that's baking, it's time to make the sauce. In a saucepan, over medium heat, add the butter, water and chicken bouillon cubes. Heat to a boil, dissolving the cubes. Add the heavy cream, bringing back to a soft boil for about 1 minute. Add the cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. If you would like your sauce thick, in a small bowl mix together 1 T. cornstarch with 4 T. hot water. Add this mixture to the cream mixture, whisking over the heat. It will immediately start to thicken. Remove from heat.

4. When the chicken is done, serve with the delicious sauce poured over the top. Serve with linguine or your favorite pasta/rice and a veggie!

Have a great night.. Let me know if you try this and like it!
