HARVEST CHICKEN

This is one of our favorite fall recipes.  There is just something about combine cheese and apples with bacon that screams FALL is here.

HARVEST CHICKEN
4 boneless skinless chicken breast steak, very thin*
1 Large Asian apple, sweet, peeled, cored and sliced thin **
10 crispy bacon strips, cut in half
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese + 1/2 cup for topping
2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
4 ounces whipped cream cheese (any flavor you like)
4 green onions, minced
Fresh cracked salt black pepper

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Spray baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Lay chicken breasts flat on work surface. Generously salt and pepper each chicken breast to taste.
• Spread 1 ounce of cream cheese on each breast.
• Divide green onions on chicken.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
• Lay 2 slices of bacon on each breast. 
• In a single layer add 4 slices of apple.
• Roll each chicken piece just until closed and place in a greased baking dish seam down.
• Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper on top.
• Top with remaining cheddar cheese and bacon slices.
• Cover and bake chicken for 30-35 minutes.
• Add more cheese if necessary, uncover and bake 5 more minutes.

*If you can't find the thinner chicken breast steaks buy nice thick large chicken breasts and slice them yourself.

**My apple slicer is a 16 slice which I love for nice thin slices.
