Chicken with a bit of spice this week. By using cream cheese you can decide how spicy this will be as the cheese stops the chilli powder being too overpowering. A great dish visually, so a good one for when friends are being entertained.
Cooking Method
In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain; keep warm. Flatten chicken breasts to 0.5 cm thickness. Sprinkle chicken breasts with seasoned salt. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, chilli powder and garlic. Spread half of the mixture on each chicken breast. Roll up chicken and wrap with two bacon strips for each chicken breast; secure with toothpicks.
Place chicken in a greased shallow baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 45 minutes. Cover and bake 10-15 minutes longer or until chicken juices run clear. Discard toothpicks before serving.
Serve with mashed potatoes or white rice.
