Recipe of the Week

I finally had a success with allrecipes.com! I had to make a few alterations but in the end it was VERY yummy. Because I made some alterations, I changed the title for my personal records. On the website, the recipe is "Impressed Myself Chicken" but my version is as follows...

The Pig That Ate the Chicken and Stuffed Him Like a Turkey :)

Ingredients:

• 12 slices uncooked bacon
  
• 1 package dry bread stuffing mix
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
  
• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast tenderloins - pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
• ground black pepper to taste
• garlic powder to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
   
2. Prepare the stuffing mix according to package directions. Do not bake. Add cream of chicken soup to stuffing.
   
3. Place the bacon on a clean flat surface. Arrange sets of two slices with one going across, and one up and down.
4. Place a piece of chicken on top. Separate the stuffing into 6 portions. Place one portion in the center of each piece of chicken. Pull chicken around the stuffing to cover, bringing the bacon around with it. Secure with string or toothpicks. Season with pepper and garlic powder. Place the chicken bundles in a roasting pan, and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
5. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove the foil, and cook until bacon is crisp and chicken is no longer pink, about 20 more minutes.
   

Cooking time may change depending on your altitude. The original recipe calls for 30 minutes with foil, 10 minutes without, but my oven didn't like that idea. Anyway, this is similar to what it should look like when it comes out:

Enjoy!
