Chicken Bacon Bake

"I made this up one day after my family went wild over the bacon wrapped cocktail weenies. I wanted something a little more figure friendly and so in waltzed the chicken. This WILL make your baking dish ugly, but it soaks away and I promise it is worth it."

  1. I kept your basic recipe intact, but did make chgs to expand it. I had some onion, mushrooms & celery I needed to use ... so I sliced them & put them in the bottom of the baking dish. My chicken breasts were VERY LRG, so I sliced them in medallions, placed them atop the veggies & then finished as written. When cooked, I plated the bacon-topped chicken, pureed the veggies w/their liquid & the drippings from the chicken & bacon + enough cream cheese to create a lovely light cream sauce. The outcome was divine! The chicken was fork-tender, well-flavored & perfect w/the sauce. This got an enthusiastic 10* rating from DH & will definitely be repeated. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. :-)
     
  2. I liked this.. it was easy to put together and the bacon kept the chicken from drying out. Dutch bacon comes in small paper thin slices so I layered a whole heap of it and wrapped it so that my chicken fillet was snuggled in it's own little bacon bandage. It cooked up easily and, yes the pan did get rather sticky but a good soak overnight fixed that quick enough. I served mine with backed potato in it's jacket and salad and enjoyed it rather a lot. Next time I would put some fresh herbs between the bacon and the chicken and wrap those tightly in.... Please see my rating system: 3 stars for a lovely, easy weekday meal in a rush. Thanks!
     
  3. This was a pretty good dish. Didn't blow our socks off or anything like that, but it was tasty and certainly easy to make. I didn't even have a problem with it mucking up the casserole dish. :) I don't know if the bacon you called for was the same stuff that I used. I haven't heard of 'center cut' before. This was side bacon, so that in itself may make a big difference. I'll have to talk to the butcher about the other cut and then make it again. Thanks AskK, for a good meal.

<p>I am a step-mother of one 12 year old boy who will be a teen this summer (07). My family lives in the town my DH and I were born in, population 5000. By day I work in customer service, but in my spare time I am a chef, artist and photographer. Well... I play at those things, anyway. To date my DH and I have lost 75lbs combined on Weight Watchers, so I have joined to pick up some new low fat recipes to add to my collection. My biggest love in life, aside from my human family, are my dogs. I work for a dog rescue org. and love every minute of it. <br /> <br />We adopted Angel from the local Humane Society. Her mom was rescued from an abusive owner while pregnant with Angel's litter. She is a terrier mix and is wild as they come. She is easily the happiest dog I have ever met. She's smart, too. She loves to steal Gizmo's toys and hide them from him. <br /><img src=http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa178/alkite/100_0112.jpg alt= /> <br /> <br />Gizmo was rescued from a breeder by our neighbor's kids. They discovered that Basenjis are a handful, however, and when their work schedules were increased they needed to find him a new home. We have fallen in love with him, in all his haughty ways. He has a great sense of humor and is the oddest dog I have ever owned. <br /> <br /><img src=http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa178/alkite/100_0037.jpg alt= /> <br /> <br />Participation Awards <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt= width=75% /> <br /><img src=http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b314/potscrubber/teambanner1.gif alt= /> <br /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/RecipeSwap2.JPG alt= width=50% /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg alt= width=50% /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /></p>
