Ok, I "happened" upon this recipe on pinterest one day, and thankfully read it and remembered it, because the recipe that I used has since "disappeared" and there is only a picture showing up, so I have no idea who to give credit to, and I truly do believe in giving credit where it is due. Anyhoo, regardless of who came up with this recipe, it is fabulous!! I took pics to show ya'll, I only wish you could taste it.
This is hubby's plate. They can be "kinda" low calorie if you choose for them to be, but obviously he didn't.
First, take chicken (I use tenderloin) and tenderize with mallot, and salt and pepper it really good. Take one serving of cream cheese and place on top of chicken. Take washed, de-seeded, halved jalapeno and place on top of cream cheese.
Use two pieces of bacon per chicken, criss-cross like above, and put chicken on top of bacon.
Fold bacon across chicken, and it should look like this. Spray baking dish, and place in oven, covered with aluminum foil, bake on 375 for at least 45 minutes. Remove from oven and take foil off, bake for another 15 minutes, or until bacon is golden brown and crisp.
This is the end product.
This is my plate, you have already seen hubby's above. I had a salad with mine. It is also good served over rice, topped with that awesome gravy form the cream cheese.
This is it cut open, with a bit of the gravy on it. Oh, ok, after I took this pic, I piled the gravy on!! Really, all I had with it was a little bitty salad!
This is for Sophie's Aunt Sharon tomorrow. She loves them, but she doesn't like to cook!
Try it sometime, and let me know how you like it!
