How do you wrap chicken breast in bacon?

1. I like starting with thick cut pieces of bacon.
2. Take the bacon and begin at one end of the chicken.  Holding the bacon tight at your starting point, wrap it all the way around the chicken to the opposite end.
3. Place the chicken in the skillet seam side down.

This recipe does have a little kick to it, but with the combination of crispy bacon and tender chicken it tones it down a bit.

But the jalapeno cream sauce won’t be too heavy so you can really taste all the flavors working together.

How do you make Jalapeno Cream Sauce?

   • Heavy Cream
   • Whole milk
   • 2 garlic cloves
   • Garlic salt

   • Onion powder
   • Cayenne pepper
   • 2 jalapenos
2. Add blended sauce to a skillet or sauce pan and heat over medium heat.  Add in grated parmesan cheese and stir until melted and combined and serve.

Do you have to use thin cut chicken breast?

• No, but I like to use them because they cook up evenly and quicker than the larger chicken beast which tend to be thicker.
• You can use thicker, regular chicken breast, but I would recommend tenderizing/pounding them so they will cook more evenly.
• And if you cannot find thin sliced chicken breast you can carefully slice a regular chicken breast in half with a sharp knife.

Can You Cook Raw Chicken and Raw Bacon Together?

Yes, absolutely. That’s what makes this recipe so flavorful! Cooking them together allows the bacon to render its fat and baste the chicken, locking in that rich, smoky taste.
