REC: Another Way to Cook Chicken
 
Hi All,

I haven't had a chance to try this recipe yet, but my Grandmother found it in a
magazine, and since she knows I'm low-carbing and ALWAYS on the lookout for a
new way to cook chicken, she called and gave me the ingredients. It sounds
VERY easy (only 5 ingredients) and I'm planning on trying it for dinner
tonight.

Chicken Breasts, boneless & skinless, pounded to about 1/4" thickness
Cream Cheese Spread with onions & chives (I didn't know they made this flavored
variety, if I can't find it at the store, I'll soften regular cream cheese and
make my own)
Bacon
Salt & Pepper to Taste

Its basically this....pound the chicken to about 1/4" thickness
spread cream cheese mixture, about 2 tablespoons per breast.
Fold chicken breast, or roll
Wrap 1 piece of bacon around chicken (secure with toothpick)
salt & pepper to taste
bake in 400 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until chicken is done. If bacon
is still undercooked, broil briefly.

Seems VERY easy and sounds just yummy! Also, I'm sure it could be tried with
other flavored cheese spreads (like Alouette or Rodelle etc) I'll give it a
try tonight and post my results.

Enjoy!

I think you could make Chicken Cordon Bleu this way, too--just layer
deli-thin ham and Swiss cheese, roll up, and wrap with bacon.

Thanks for the recipe!

Thanks for all the good feedback ... it is much appreciated. Now, onward on
upward - or downward as it were - to smaller and better things.

I make this type of dish quite often, except I don't pound the
breasts--I never have any luck doing that step. Instead, I
butterfly each breast to open it up, spread it with a
cream-cheese concoction (mixed with pesto or salsa or whatever
sounds yummy), then roll it up and follow the rest of the
instructions. Sometimes I'll brush the chicken with ceasar
dressing before wrapping in bacon, it adds a nice flavor. Serve
with a nice green salad and steamed or roasted veggies.

I've been doing that recipe for years, even pre- LC. Garlic instead of
onions, tho. I always serve it to guest the first time we have them over.

"A Plate of Heaven" is what my hubby described this chicken concoction last
night. I followed this recipe exactly, but can see where many variations would
be just as yummy! Thanks for all the suggestions. The recipes in this
newsgroup have been instrumental in our following this WOE, its such a great
resource. Keep posting your creations!

Having been a regular customer of theirs before I went low carb, Einstein's
Bagel stores have various flavored spreads. One of them was the cream cheese
with onions and chives. Chives are a great idea for an addition to cream
cheese, but adding onions to the mix seemed idiotically redundant, but I
digress. That is likely one of the places she would have gotten it from
though.

It works very well with dried chives too.... you can buy them in the spice
section.
