Piggy Chicken

1 - 1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken tenders
8 oz. block of cream cheese, softened
2 tbs. dried chopped chives
1/3 cup dried minced onions
salt
freshly ground pepper
1 lb. regular sliced bacon

Lay each chicken tender between two sheets of plastic wrap and place on a cutting board. Using a meat hammer, pound as flat as you can get them. (If you pound on the undersides they're less likely to fall apart.) Stack and set aside.

Find a shallow pan (or two) that will hold the tenders with at least one inch between them on all sides. Spray pan with Pam.

Move one flattened tender to the cutting board, remove top sheet of plastic wrap.

Mix chives and onions into cream cheese.

Using a spatula or frosting knife, spread approx. 2 tsp. of cream cheese on the flattened chicken tender. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.

Roll up the chicken tender like a jelly roll; pick it up & move it to the bottom of the cutting board.

Wrap one piece of bacon around the chicken roll, trying to angle it so as much of the chicken roll as possible is covered. Place in prepared pan with at least one end of the bacon under the chicken tender roll.

Repeat until all tenders have been rolled and covered with bacon.

Put pans into 375 degree oven for 25 minutes, then turn oven up to 425 for an additional 5 minutes, or until bacon is crisp.
