New Recipe for this week 5-5-2009

So every week I try at least one new recipe. Most weeks I try two new ones. But this week is a crazy week so I am only trying out a new one. "Bacon Wrapped Chicken"

Ingredients:6 boneless skinless chicken breasts halves
1 (8 oz) cartons chive and onion cream cheese
6 slices of bacon salt (to taste)2 tablespoons butter
Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Between 2 sheets of wax paper with a mallet flatten chicken breasts to ½” thickness.
Step 2: Spread 3 tablespoons of cream cheese over each chicken breast. Then Dot with butter and season with salt. Wrap with bacon and stick a toothpick through the rolled chicken breast to hold it together. Roll up and stick a toothpick through to hold it together.
Step 3: Place seam side down in 13 x 9 baking pan. Bake, uncovered at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until juices run clear.
Step 4: Turn on the broiler and broil six inches from the heat for 5 minutes or until the bacon is crisp.
Yields: 6 servings.
