Chicken with cheese, wrapped up in bacon! Yummo!
This deliciousness is excellent for those on a keto or low-carb diet but it is not great for those on a calorie-restricted diet. I found it when I was on phase three of the hCg diet. However, when I decided I needed to watch my calories, this meal became taboo. But since being on the ketogenic diet, I have revived this awesome recipe.
I see on my print recipe copy that I got it from this website. She has lots of ideas for other ‘fillings’ in this chicken that I may yet have to try.
Here’s what I did. I started with a generous one pound chicken breast and sliced it about half both horizontally and vertically to get individual portions. Next lay down about three slices of bacon, side-by-side in one direction and then two in the other direction.
Place your chicken on top of the intersection of the bacon.
Add some slices of cream cheese.
Then sprinkle with garlic salt and any other seasonings of your choice.
Now add some cheese of your choice. I used mild cheddar.
Now fold in the two slices, overlapping if possible.
Then wrap/roll the three slices around the chicken.
Place seam-side down on your baking pan.
Bake at 400º for 45 minutes. Check it around 30 minutes and turn over to brown/crisp the bottom side.
This really is delicious! Give it a try.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 pound thin bacon, about 5 slices per serving, about 20 total
- garlic salt
- cream cheese
- cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Cut cut your breast into 4 pieces and pound a little, between parchment paper or such to thin it evenly.
- Lay down three thin strips of bacon side by side and then two slices in the other direction.
- Lay the chicken on top.
- Add a little cream cheese, garlic salt, and cheddar cheese.
- Fold over the two strips.
- Then fold/roll the chicken on the three strips of bacon.
- Place seam side down on baking sheet.
- Bake 400º for 45 minutes. Flip chicken when top is crispy to crispy the bottom bacon.
I hope you enjoy this one, if you try it.
Until next time, God bless,
