1½ lb | Chicken Breast, skinless, raw | |
½ lb | Bacon, Pancetta, Cured Pork Belly | |
5 oz | Gouda, cheese | |
1¼ cups 1 tbsp | Swiss Cheese, Emmental, shredded | |
42 oz | altogether (view nutrition facts) |
Preparation
- Serving size:7 oz (calculated)Notes: 4 bacon and cheese wrapped chicken tenders
- Temperature: 400 °F (preheated, circulating air)
- Cut the chicken breast into strips weighing about 1 oz each. Depending on the size of the chicken breast, you should get 6 to 8 strips. I cut the chicken breasts into thirds or quarters lengthwise and then cut them in half crosswise. Alternatively, use chicken tenders.
- For each strip, cut one strip of bacon in half and lay the halves next to each other, slightly overlapping them.
- Top with a slice of cheese the same size. You can use different kinds of cheese. We usually do some with semi-mature Gouda and some with Emmental. The gouda melts more and tends to spills out more than the Emmental.
- Add one chicken strip and roll up.
- Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper, seam on the bottom.
- Bake until the chicken is done, about 12 to 15 minutes depending on how thick your chicken strips are.
- Place under the broiler to crisp up the bacon to your liking, about 3 minutes.
- Enjoy, for example with a side of vegetables or a salad.
- You can store the dish in an airtight container for 3 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. For best results, thaw overnight. It's best to reheat the chicken tenders in the oven. Like this they have a crisper texture than if you microwave them. Alternatively, reheat them in a pan on the stovetop.
