Chicken wrapped in bacon


Well, tonight in anticipation of two more upcoming potlucks i went all out and made two dishes this evening. this one was pretty darn simple but it was also pretty good. how bad can anything be that has brie and bacon as part of the ingredients.


The real reason why i made this was that i bought a meat mallet at Ikea and really wanted to pound some chicken. Anyways here's the super complicated ingredient list:

  • Chicken
  • Brie
  • Spinach
  • Bacon
Pound chicken to 1/4" thickness. Put brie in middle, put spinach in middle, fold over twice to keep Brie in the middle. Wrap in bacon, use toothpicks to secure if you wish.
Broil for 7 minutes, turn broil for 7 more minutes. take it out, let it cool a few minutes, enjoy!
and here it is raw:

I am generally afraid of raw chicken. So I am especially impressed that you saw a meat mallet at IKEA and thought that it would be fun to use.

Mmm. This sounds pretty tasty, and like it would be a great finger food for a party. How big are the pieces of chicken once you cook them? And have you found that 15 minutes is long enough to cook this? I've never broiled chicken that was this thin, so I am a bit clueless.

KZ, the chicken was probably the size of a large fist, and 15 mins on the broil was definitely long enough to cook it, i'm pretty afraid of raw chicken too and it was def cooked through.

you'd probably have to pound it thinner or cut a chicken breast in half to make it a finger food.
