Stuffed Chicken Wrapped in Bacon
SERVES 4
SYN FREE (this is used by me as part of my slimming world diet)
4 large chicken breasts, skinless & boneless
8 rashers smokey back bacon, all visible fat removed
For the stuffing:
1 red onion
2 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. dried sage
170g lean pork mince
1 egg yolk
Seasoning
To make the stuffing, chop the onion, toss in the lemon juice, then mix with the sage and pork mince. Season and bind with the egg yolk.
For each chicken breast: Using a small sharp knife make a pocket in the chicken breast. Fill with a ¼ of the stuffing, then wrap with 2 rashers of bacon, with the rasher ends meeting at the bottom of the chicken to secure the stuffing.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180-200c for about 1 - 1½ hrs until the chicken is cooked. Transfer to a preheated grill to crisp the bacon.
Alternatives:
Leave out the stuffing, top the chicken with sliced mushrooms, then wrap in bacon. Still Syn-free.

Seriously, I'm going to give this a try tomorrow night, and if the kids don't want any, it'll just leave more for little old me!

Thanks, Tigs, I guessed it might be something like that. And no doubt you'll have guessed that I'm not a slimmer, or I wouldn't have asked the question! So I'll leave the fat on the bacon 
RE: Stuffed Chicken Wrapped in Bacon
its more of a health thing with slimming world than not having certain calories etc ie animal fat should generally be removed to save your arteries....:D
