Welcome to Luggage and Ladle

Welcome

Welcome to Luggage & Ladle For years, this blog was simply a place to collect and share favorite recipes. What started as a personal recipe archive gradually became something more. As my husband Blake and I traveled, I realized many of our adventures had one thing in common: food. We plan our travels around where to eat. Long before we book a hotel or decide which attractions to visit, we're researching local specialties, hidden gems, neighborhood restaurants, bakeries, markets, and can't-miss meals. Some of our favorite travel memories aren't landmarks or attractions. They're meals shared around a table. Many of the recipes you'll find here have a story behind them. Some are family favorites. Others were inspired by memorable meals we discovered while traveling and couldn't wait to recreate at home. That's how Luggage & Ladle was born. Luggage & Ladle is where food and travel come together. Here you'll find favorite recipes, restaurant disco...

Cheese Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Chicken

Are there any other words that could make your mouth water more than Cheese Stuffed Bacon?   I think not.  This ended up being a really great recipe.  I pieced it together from some things found off Pinterest.  Of course!   It's really good.  Family loved it.  It is easy.  What else could you ask for??

Cheese Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pound bacon
8 ounces cream cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
garlic pepper
salt

Lay the chicken breasts out on wax paper and flatten out with a heavy skillet or mallet.  Lay strips of bacon down and place the chicken breast on top of the bacon.   Season chicken breasts with garlic pepper and salt. 

Cut cream cheese into 12 equal squares.  Place three squares on each chicken breast and top with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar.  Roll chicken up and wrap with 3 pieces of bacon.  Two width wise and one length wise.  Secure with toothpicks and place seam side down in baking dish. 

Bake at 400 for 45 minutes turning over half way through baking time.  Then turn on the broiler and crisp up bacon on both sides.  Watch closely.  Will only need a few minutes.

You could really stuff these with anything.  Any kind of cheese, spinach, nuts...  Use your imagination.  The cheese was nice and gooey and rich.  We served it with mashed cauliflower.  Even the 12 year old ate it!
