Category: Chicken

Ingredients
6 boneless chicken breast halves
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup chives, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
6 slices of bacon
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Place chicken breast on plastic wrap; mist with a small amount of water; Cover with another sheet of plastic wrap; Pound flat; Repeat with other chicken breasts.

Salt and pepper chicken to taste.

In small bowl mix cream cheese and chives

Partially cook bacon.

Spread filling on chicken breast; roll-up; wrap with bacon; place in baking dish; dot each wrap with butter

Bake for 40 minutes or until chicken reaches internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Broil 5 minutes or until bacon is crisp.

Optional: You can create a sauce from the cream cheese drippings in the pan; create a sauce with the pan drippings with 2 tablespoons of whipping cream to smooth it. An immersion blender works well; sauce will be smooth and frothy. Serve with the bundles.
