How to make Bacon Weave Chicken

Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2 – Soften the cream cheese for about 20 seconds in the microwave.

Step 3 – In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and chives together.

Step 4 – Spray an 8 x 8 oven-safe baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 5 – Place the pieces of chicken in the baking dish.

Step 6 – Spread the cream cheese mixture over the middle of each piece of chicken, divided evenly.

Step 7 – To make a bacon weave, cut each piece of bacon in half. Weave 4 of the halves together by placing 2 vertical and 2 horizontal and then crisscrossing them together to overlap each other. Repeat with the other 4 bacon halves.

Step 8 – Wrap the bacon weaves over the cream cheese mixture on each chicken cutlet.

Step 9 – Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until juices run clear and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

Step 10 – If the bacon is not quite done enough, turn on the broiler and broil six inches from the heat for about 5 minutes or until the bacon is just turning crispy.

Pro Tips
