EASY BACON-WRAPPED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Place each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, and pound to 1/4 inch. Wrap 1 slice bacon around each chicken breast, starting and ending on bottom of chicken breast (bacon will go around chicken breast twice). Secure ends of bacon on underside with toothpick, and place in medium bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and rub to coat.
• Heat 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place chicken, top side down, in skillet and cook until bacon is beginning to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Carefully turn chicken, and continue to cook 4 to 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of chicken reads 165°F.
• Meanwhile, in large bowl, make dressing: Beat vinegar, mustard, honey, salt and pepper with whisk. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil slowly, beating to combine. Reserve 1/4 cup dressing; set aside. Add greens to remaining dressing, and toss to coat; divide evenly among 4 serving plates.
• Transfer chicken breasts to plate to cool slightly. Remove toothpicks. Top each salad with 1 chicken breast. Drizzle 1 tablespoon dressing over each chicken breast. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• In a small bowl, stir together the smoked paprika, thyme, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper.
• Pat the chicken dry. Sprinkle the chicken evenly on both sides with thyme mixture, rubbing to coat.
• Wrap 2 bacon slices around each breast, covering it as evenly as you can.
• Place the chicken breast, seam-side down, in the prepared dish.
• To the same bowl you used for the seasonings, add the maple syrup and vinegar and stir to combine.
• Brush the tops of the chicken with the maple syrup mixture. If desired, crack black pepper over the top.
• Bake the bacon wrapped chicken for 20 to 25 minutes, until a thermometer inserted at the thickest part registers 165 degrees F (I typically pull my chicken a few degrees early, then let the carryover cooking finish the rest). Brush the chicken with the liquid that has collected at the bottom of the pan halfway through.
• If you'd like to crisp the top of the bacon, switch the oven to broil. Broil the chicken for 1 to 3 minutes, until it is crisped to your liking.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and immediately sprinkle with a pinch of additional salt. Let rest at least 5 minutes to allow the juices to reincorporate into the chicken. Sprinkle with chives. Enjoy!

BACON WRAPPED BOURSIN STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS - A DEUX!

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
• Lightly oil an oven proof dish with the teaspoon of olive oil - using a pastry brush is best.
• Place one chicken breast between a large piece of cling film and gently beat it with a cook's mallet - beating until large and fairly thin - try NOT make any holes in the chicken! Repeat with the second chicken breast.
• Place the chicken breasts on a work board and spread half the Boursin cheese on each chicken piece - make sure it is spread evenly right up to the edges.
• Roll the chicken breasts up - tucking the last small "fillet" flap up and into the stuffed roll.
• Wrap the bacon pieces or pancetta ham around the stuffed chicken, making sure they do not overlap too much and the edges are sealed underneath.
• Gently lift them into the oiled oven dish.
• Season well with freshly ground black pepper. (Season with salt to taste - the bacon will make it quite salty, so watch out when seasoning with salt.).
• If using the lemon juice, pour over the top of the chicken breasts now.
• Scatter or arrange the cherry tomatoes around the chicken pieces. (I like to keep them on the vine.).
• Place in the middle of a pre-heated oven and roast for between 45 - 55 minutes; the cooking time depends on the size of the chicken breasts and your oven.
• Remove from the oven and place the chicken breasts on a plate - you can serve them whole or sliced. Garnish with watercress, as well as the roasted cherry tomatoes.
• Serve with a selection of seasonal fresh vegetables and a jacket potato, making sure you spoon the excess Boursin sauce over the top of the chicken pieces and the roasted cherry tomatoes!
• Tip:You can make an optional creamy sauce. On taking the chicken out of the oven, add the creme fraiche and white wine to the Boursin cooking juices in the oven dish, whisk together and then gently heat, whisking all the time, over medium heat on top of the stove, or decant the creme fraiche, wine and juices to a small saucepan and heat the sauce in the pan. (Make sure to keep the chicken warm whilst you do this.).
• TO FREEZE:.
• As soon as you have stuffed and wrapped the bacon around the beaten chicken breasts, wrap individually in cling film and put into a freezer container or a freezer bag. Take them out as required and allow to defrost for 4-5 hours at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.
• Cook as above.
• Can be frozen for up to 3 months with no adverse effects on the Boursin cheese.
