Savory Chicken Wrapped in Bacon


Tip: Read directions before preparing.

Ingredients:
8 oz package cream cheese
2 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to season
4 chicken breasts
20 slices, smoked bacon
1/4 cup Golden Syrup (Click for Recipe)
Preheat the oven to 375 degree F.

In a bowl mix together the Philadelphia, chives, garlic, onion and seasoning to make the filling.


Slice three-quarters of the way horizontally through each of the chicken breasts.  Lay 4-6 slices of bacon on your board. Open out and divide the filling between each of the breasts. Lay a chicken breast on top of the slices, fold the chicken back over and then form a parcel, then wrap with the bacon, starting at the thin end and wrapping round and round to secure the chicken inside.



Place the chicken breast into a baking dish and drizzle each with a little golden syrup and cook in the oven for about 35-40 minutes or until crisp and cooked through. Enjoy!


Tip: If you have any leftover, the next day, make a grilled sandwich by slicing the chilled breast thinly, put it on some some sour dough bread, add some Gruyere cheese and grill it! Yummy! Accompanied with a small bowl of tomato soup! Your family will love it!
