Bacon Chicken Roll-Ups

Music by: Jason Shaw http://www.youtube.com/user/audionautix


Mix 8oz of cream cheese softened with 3-4 tbsp of your favourite fresh herbs (dried is okay too)
Set aside.
Pound 4-6 boneless chicken breasts flat between sheets of plastic wrap until they are about 1/4" thick. (this is easier than it sounds, trust me)
Spread cheese mixture on one side of chicken breast and roll it up (short side first). Wrap pieces of chicken with two strips of bacon.

The original recipe says to slightly cook bacon until cooked not crisp and then wrap the chicken with it, securing with toothpicks. The advantage to this is less bacon fat getting on/in the chicken.

If you put the bacon on raw, it stays on very well and as it cooks it shrinks squeezing the chicken roll and keeping it together. You can put the rolls under the broiler for a couple of minutes to crisp up the bacon and brown it a bit. The bacon fat ends up in the bottom of the pan and you can blot the chicken before serving it to get rid of most of it anyway.

Place the chicken rolls in a greased baking dish and bake uncovered at 350F for 35-45 minutes until the internal temp reaches 180F. (Safe chicken eatin' temperature)
