BACON-WRAPPED,
STUFFED CREAMY CHICKEN
This is probably one of the best stuffed
chicken breast recipes I have made to date – at least my hubby, family and our
friends, Sue and Dave from Canada
think so. Great for a special occasion
dinner. Since it is a rich meal, keep the sides simple and the dessert, if you're having one, light in calories. Typically this meal is so rich, that I believe it can serve 7 to 8 people, rather than the 6 that I indicated. I can't manage more than half a chicken breast to be honest. It is more than satisfying. Hope you will try this recipe and give me some feedback on it if you have the time.

4 oz Monterey Jack cheese (125
g)

cream cheese mixture. Fold top flap over
cream cheese mixture and wrap each chicken breast in 3 slices of cooked bacon
(but still pliable) and place in 9 x 13-inch (2 L) casserole dish.

Helpful Hints: Leave out the xanthan gum when using in
place of commercial soups, as it could give an undesirable mouth feel in some
instances. *The 3/4 cup (175 mL) serving of soup is actually 11/2 cups (375 mL) when the equivalent amount of water is added.
