Ingredients:
1 pack of chicken breast
5 pieces of bacon lightly cooked
2 roman tomatoes
Salt/pepper/garlic powder
Sauce:
3/4 cup of milk (maybe a little more for thinning)
3 tablespoons of flour
The bacon oil from lightly browning the bacon
and the juice from the chicken after baking
Salt to taste
3 talespoons of pepper
(I also add a bit of grated cheese it's optional)
Directions:
First cook your bacon on medium heat so it has a nice brown to it, then place aside. Now prep your chicken by placing it on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic powder over the chicken. Cut the tomatoes into thin circles and place on top on chicken. Once bacon has cooled, wrap width wise around the chicken and tomato. Drizzle a little oil over each piece of chicken. Preheat oven to 350 and baked chicken for 40 minutes. I also made some asparagus with the chicken. I sprinkled salt, pepper, garlic powder, grated cheese and hot pepper and baked them for about 12 minutes at 400. This was a nice side to pair up with the chicken.
So now, when the chicken is finished, use the juices from the chicken and pour this into the pan with the bacon oil. Add the flour and let cook on medium high heat for about 3 minutes by constantly stirring. Then add the milk, salt, pepper and grated cheese. Stir constantly until thick. Taste it! See if it needs more salt or pepper.
Now plate every thing up! Take out the asparagus, place chicken on the plate with the yummy cream sauce and Buon Appetit!!! : )
BUT WAIT...On V-day there needs to be some chocolate!!! So I have created a yummy recipe if you would like to try this. You can actually make this multiple ways...you'll see what I mean.
Homemade Chocolate Bars
Ingredients:
Store bought brownie mix
Ice cream of your choice (I picked a white chocolate raspberry frozen yogurt)
1 package of semi sweet chocolate
Sauce:
You can by an already made caramel sauce or you can make it this way :
1 cup of sugar
6 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions:
Tip: Now if you do not want to make bars, simply just make brownies and lay the brownie with ice cream of your choice, caramel and whipped cream!!
In a small square pan, cook brownies according to directions. Once they are cooked, place them in the freezer for about an hour. Take out your ice cream of choice now so it can soften. Once brownies have cooled, take the ice cream and spread over the brownies ( You can also put ice cream in mocrowave for a few seconds to melt, therefore it would be easier to spread too). Once even and spread over brownies, place in freezer again and let sit over night.
Melt chocolate over the stove or in the microwave in a safe bowl ( Make sure not to burn the chocolate!!). Take out brownie and ice cream dish, and cut into rectangles. Once chocolate is melted, grab bar by the brownie and dip the whole bar in the chocolate, everything should be covered and it should look like an ice cream bar! Place on a dish and freeze again until serving time!
Now for the sauce, add sugar to a small sauce pan and heat sugar while constantly stirring. When sugar begins to turn a light brown color and sugar has melted, add the butter. Whisk and melt together. Once butter is melted, add the cream and whisk, whisk, whisk! The mixure will foam up, but thats normal, keep mixing for about 5 more minutes until everything is nice, smooth and thick. let sit for about 5 more and then pour into a dipping dish. Now take out your ice cream bars and start dipping and eating!! YUMMM
Alright cookers, let me know how this went!
Have a Happy Valentines day : )
