Week 4 Challenge- I only had three ingredients for my Challenge this week and they were:

Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa Mix Milk Chocolate 60 Envelopes [Misc.]

HOT CHOCOLATE PACKETS

CREAM CHEESE

BACON

I knew my mom had a great recipe with Chicken, Bacon and Cream Cheese and I added Hot Chocolate packets to an ordinary chocolate chip cookie recipe.

So, I decided to make Bacon Wrapped Chicken with Muffin Tin Potatoes and Hot Chocolate Chip Cookies for dessert.

I had my parents over for dinner earlier in the week and I made this meal for them. We all LOVED it!

Bacon Wrapped Chicken w/Cream Cheese & Chives

Printable Recipe Here

4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast

1- 8 ounce whipped chive and onion cream cheese
8 slices of bacon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Between two sheet of wax paper, with a mallet, flatten chicken to about 1/2 an inch thick. Spread about 3 tablespoons of cream cheese on top of chicken. Roll and wrap with bacon and keep in place with a toothpick.

Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes (or until juices run clear.) Then turn on the broiler and broil about six inches from the heat for about 5 minutes or until bacon is crispy.

Muffin Tin Potatoes

Printable Recipe Here

2 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

1/2 cup of shredded cheese

1 shallot, finely chopped

salt

3/4 cup of heavy cream

Spray your muffin tin with cooking spray. Layer potatoes, cheese, salt and shallots in each muffin cup. Top each with 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes removing foil half way thru. I baked these at the same time as the chicken I just made sure they were out before I turned on the broiler. Scoop onto plate and enjoy with your Bacon Wrapped Chicken! (I loved how the sides of the potatoes got a little crispy! Delicious!)

Now for dessert…

Hot Chocolate Chip Cookies

Printable Recipe Here

2 sticks of butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

2 3/4 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups milk chocolate chips

3 hot chocolate mix packets (regular not sugar free)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until creamy. Add eggs, beat well. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt and hot chocolate packets and gradually add to butter mixture. Beat all well until blended. Stir in chocolate chips.

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop place onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until slightly browned. Cool for a short time and move to cooling rack. These were wonderful!
