Honey Mustard Bacon Wrapped Chicken

Chicken, bacon and honey mustard... dang, they go well together. Today I have an easy recipe for you. I like recipes that are hard to mess up and this is definitely one of them. You can easily adjust the quantity to family size too.

Bacon Wrapped Chicken

2 boneless chicken breast
8 slices of bacon

Honey Mustard
(makes a little less than 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup mayo
2 1/2 tbsp yellow mustard
1 1/2 tsp honey
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper

Cut the chicken breasts in half (making 4 pieces) and fry it until fully cooked. Add any seasonings you wish. I added onion and garlic powder. Fry the bacon just until it's not so limp.

While the chicken and bacon are cooking, mix together all of the ingredients for the mustard.

Preheat oven to 350.

Once everything is cooked, wrap two slices of bacon around one piece of chicken. I inserted a toothpick to keep the bacon in place. Place chicken in a baking pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes. If you choose, add a slice of swiss cheese and bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Pour honey mustard over chicken and serve.

Just a basic BLT

Sometimes I crave a BLT. This happened to me recently. So I did what anyone in my situation would do. I made a BLT.

Nothing fancy. It was delightful though.

Follow these simple steps and you'll be on your way to Deliciousville:

1. Get yourself some thick bacon. Start frying it up.

2.  While the bacon sizzles, slice up some fresh tomatoes and a few leaves of lettuce. Don't forget to wash them... salmonella is a friend to no one.

3. Check on the bacon. I love love love crispy bacon. I won't eat it any other way.

4. Put bread into the toaster. Using Texas Toast will separate your BLT from the average run of the mill BLT. Trust me.

5. This step is huge, listen very carefully. Taste test a strip of bacon. Repeat this step as many times as necessary.

6. Once the toast and bacon are done, you are ready to assemble the sandwich. I don't know if placement is extremely important. My BLT is toast with a smear of mayo, add lettuce, add tomato, add bacon. Some folks add salt and pepper and other spices. Not me. These 5 simple ingredients are quite satisfying for my taste buds.

7. Prepare for goodness. 

 My picture kind of sucks. You understand I didn't have time to set up a pretty little background and get my fancy camera out, right? I was hungry. I wanted to eat.
