Smoked Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breast

Ingredients

• 1 Skinless & Boneless chicken breast
• 10 slices of bacon
• 4 slices of low salt sandwich ham
• 4 slices of provolone cheese

Preparation

1. Cut the chicken breast into 4 slices. That would be 4 slices per whole chicken breast. (2 slices per half of breast.)
2. Pound the chicken slices into thinner pieces
3. Now take 4 slices of bacon and lay them side by side
4. Take a fifth piece of bacon and lay it across the four strips at the center
5. Next it is just a matter of layering the stuff on top of the bacon. This is the order in which everything is layered:
   -1 slice Chicken
   -1 slice Ham
   -1 slice Cheese
   -1 slice Chicken
   -1 slice Ham
   -1 slice Cheese
6. Now roll your chicken, ham and cheese up the best you can. I know it is going to look like it won’t roll up correctly, but it rolls up good enough.
7. Next, tie the roll together using the 4 pieces of bacon and toothpicks. Once that is done, take the cross piece of bacon and pull it up and over both ends of the roll and toothpick it as well.

Smoking

1. Heat Bradley at least 30 minutes
2. Set heat slider 3/4 way to the right
3. Use 4 pucks of your favorite wood (I used maple this time) and smoke about 2-1/2 to 2-3/4 hours it will be smoked/ cooked.

   We have tried 8, then 6, and then 3 pucks worth of smoke. We feel that 4 pucks would be the correct amount that would give you a good balance of flavors without over powering the rest of the items.

Olds comments:

A easy to prepare/ smoke/ cook item. Family really loves them. Cook more than you can eat. The following day slice them and use for sandwiches!
