I realize that there have probably been seventeen thousand variations of the basic recipe of Chicken Bacon Wrappers (http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=63314), and so I apologize, but here's another one. These things are habit-forming anyway. :lol:
Ingredients:
-eight chicken breasts, butterflied and pounded thin
-6.5 oz container of Alouette spreadable cheese (http://www.alouettecheese.com/spreadable.htm) [I use the garlic and herb variety, but I see no reason that you couldn't use another flavor]
-pound of bacon [or 1 package, however you measure it]
-place a heaping spoonful [very heaping--maybe about two tablespoons worth] of the cheese in the center of each chicken breast
-wrap the edges of the chicken breast around the cheese, forming a sort of ball shape
-cover each breast with a slice of raw bacon, wrapping the bacon all the way around the chicken ball [you may have to use two slices per breast depending on how big they are]
-secure with toothpicks
-place in the refrigerator for at least three hours, and overnight would be fantastic [they should be well chilled before beginning to cook]
When you're ready to cook them...
-cover your grill [gas grill] with foil [keeps the fat from the bacon from dripping into the fire and causing flareups], and spray it with Pam
-preheat your grill on high
-when the grill is heated, place the chicken breasts on the grill and turn the heat to medium
-cooking time varies depending on thickness [anywhere from 25-40 minutes]
You could bake these, I suppose, but I think they're better grilled. If you want to bake them, do it at 350 for 45 minutes.
Enjoy!
