Bacon Wrapped Chicken Recipe

I stumbled across this recipe while searching for something else. I tried it the other night and really enjoyed it so I figured I'd pass it along.

4 chicken cutlets (Even though I use cutlets, I still pounded them out to make them thinner)
chive and onion cream cheese
bacon
salt and pepper

Pound out the chicken cutlets. If you use breasts, you'll really have to pound them out. Season with salt and pepper. Smear your desired amount of cream cheese on each chicken breast and roll them up. Wrap a slice of bacon around each chicken breast. You can secure it with a toothpick if you think it's necessary.
It's up to you what pan to bake it on- if you use a baking dish, it'll keep the chicken moister because the juices will stay with the chicken. The downside is that the bacon on the bottom will not be crispy. If you cook it on a broiler pan you will have crispier bacon all around but you risk your chicken being drier if you over cook. Do what you want! Personally, I backed it in a glass dish and then switched it to a broiler pan. Bake 35 minute at 400 and broil for another 5 to get the bacon crispy.

Chicken Teriyaki Recipe

I made chicken teriyaki for dinner tonight for my family has been making this chicken for as long as I can remember.  It's great for a crowd because you just throw it in the oven and let it go.  You can also use little chicken wings for a party.  I apologize for the picture- I'm working on my "after dark photography" but I think no matter what time of day I took the picture- meat probably isn't my favorite thing to photograph.  Not nearly as pretty as a cake.

Chicken Teriyaki
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
6 skinless chicken drumsticks (double or triple recipe for larger crowds)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix ingredients in a square glass baking dish.  Bake for one hour uncovered gently turning the chicken every 15 minutes or so.  The chicken will start to fall off of the bone so it's best to use tongs to grip when turning to hold it all together.  Cover dish with foil and bake an additional 15 minutes.  Cover with sauce chopped scallions and sesame seeds for serving.

 Hashbrown casserole is our side of choice for this dish.  Sounds strange but it really works.  Enjoy!
