Cream Cheese And Bacon Chicken Rolls

I found this recipe on Pinterest.  I thought it would be a great twist on a traditional chicken dinner, served with stuffing and mashed potatoes.  Perfect for a sunday supper or to serve guests at a dinner party.

Ingredients:

• 4-6 thin boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Stuffing:

• 6-8 ounces softened cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon of minced onion
• 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
• 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of pepper
• 2 teaspoons of lemon juice
• 4 Pieces of cooked and chopped Bacon

Coating:

• ¼ cup flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• ½ cup corn flake crumbs

Directions:

• Pre-heat oven to 350.
• Coat rolls with flour, then lightly dip in egg mixture, followed me rolling them in corn flake crumbs.
• In a bowl, beat cream cheese, onion, italian seasoning, garlic powder, pepper and lemon juice until blended. 
• Stir in cooked and chopped bacon.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture on each piece of chicken and spread it out into a thin layer.
• Roll chicken.
• Drizzle some olive oil in a large skillet and heat.
• Briefly cook rolls over high heat, browning all sides.
• Place chicken rolls in a baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken is fork tender.

Notes

You don’t want to soak the roll in the egg, but you need it coated enough to hold the corn flakes.

Make sure to really crush the corn flakes. It is more likely for smaller pieces to stick to the roll better.
