Bacon-Wrapped Chicken
"I found this online at Taste of Home. I was looking for something that would kick up a chicken dinner a notch and my DH and I thought this fit the bill.
The recipe calls for spreadable chive and onion cream cheese. I used a portion of a softened brick of cream cheese and added parsley and minced onion. I would recommend the spreadable one instead. Even softened - it still was hard to spread. Very tasty though!"

Aussie Swap#41 - easy to prepare!! DELICIOUS! -
I used a very low fat philadelphia cheese and mixed in a finely chopped spring onion and about 2 teaspoons of roasted garlic flesh (for a 1/2 recipe - feeding 3). My skinless breasts were 220 to 250 grams each which I slit and stuffed with the cream cheese mix and wrapped in the bacon (needed 1 1/2 slices per breast of middle cut bacon - with rind removed). Cooked for 55 minutes at 190/195 C fan forced oven and the chicken was cooked and the bacon crispy (no grilling or broiling required). Though when making again I think I would use regular Philadelphia cheese as the low fat was very sloppy and I think a firmer texture would cook better. Thank you Chef on the coast, made for Aussie/Kiwi Swap #33 October 2009. -
This was really good and so easy to make. I used spreadable cream cheese to which I added some finely chopped parsley and some dried onion flakes. This worked well as I couldn't source the chive and onion cream cheese. I served this with jacket baked potatoes and recipe#357544. Into my keepers file it goes. :) Made for Aus/NZ swap September 2009

you can also dice up some jalapenos and use those instead of chives or green onions, you can even add some mushrooms as well. I make this often but im always adding something different so its not the same as last time. you can combine cream cheese, mozzarella, and cheddar so you have a 3 cheese kind of blend as well.

<p>I live on the Oregon Coast with husband and four boys. I am able to stay at home with them and hold down the fort. I have many cookbooks which I enjoy searching through for our family favorites. I recently started working as a home health care worker for seniors with disabilities (which I absolutely love), I love to quilt, crochet, bake, read, garden, watch the rain (which happens quite frequently here) and play with my kids. <br /><br />I am passionate about canning, canning, canning. I will admit I like admiring all the hard work after the jars are placed on the shelves. hehee I am all for if I can make it myself I will. Yes...I am frugal. I also love to bake. Especially homemade bread. I will continue to do so until arthritis takes over my hands. Then I will use more of the mixer for the kneading part. <br />All recipes I post are ones I've made and are our famiy favorites. <br /><br />I love pretty flowers. These flowers grace our yard every year. I could watch them all day long and be perfectly content! <br /><a href=http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/zauggrc/?action=view?t=2008flowers008.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/zauggrc/2008flowers008.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p>
