Bacon-Wrapped Cream Cheese Chicken Breast image

This is not at all difficult to make --- although you can use uncooked bacon strips I prefer to semi-cook the bacon in the oven first just to release some fat but do not cook until crisp or wrapping it around the chicken will be impossible --- the chicken may be prepared up to one day in advance, which makes this great dinner party food, just cover refrigerate and mix up the sauce when ready to bake :)

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese with chives (sliced into 8 even squares)
16 slices bacon (cooked but not until crisp)
2 (10 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
2 -3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise (or use all sour cream or mayo)
1/4 teaspoon white salt (to taste)
black pepper
grated cheddar cheese, to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Butter a large baking dish.
  • Pound the chicken breast until flat (pound just enough to roll up easily).
  • Place 1 slice cream cheese in the middle of each breast.
  • Roll up the chicken breast (it does not matter if a little of the cream cheese comes out of the sides).
  • Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each breast, secure with a toothpick then place into prepared baking dish.
  • In a bowl mix undiluted soup with Parmesan cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, onion, salt and black pepper; mix until well combined then pour over chicken.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheddar cheese (if using) then return to oven for a few minutes to melt cheese.
  • Delicious!
