October 9th, 2018 by Jim Field
- 4 bacon strips
- 2 (6 oz.) boneless chicken breast halves
- 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt (optional)
- 1/4 cup canned chopped green chilies
- 1 1/2 oz. cream cheese (softened)
- 1 garlic clove
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp; drain on paper towels. Flatten chicken to 1/4 inch thickness. Sprinkle with seasoned salt if desired.
In a small bowl, combine the chilies, cream cheese and garlic. Spread over one side of each chicken breast. Roll up and tuck ends in. Wrap each with two bacon strips; secure with toothpicks.
Place in an 8 inch square baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until chicken juices run clear (160-170 degrees with meat thermometer). Discard toothpicks.
YIELD: 2 servings.
