A mouthful both in name and flavor-packed taste, the Baja Chipotle and Sun Dried Tomato Bacon Wrapped Chicken I made tonight was absolutely killer. Here’s a meal fit for a king but simple enough even for the court jester to pull off with ease.
Start with two or three medium sized chicken breasts. Marinade them in a tangy chipotle marinade. Slice the breasts open sideways, kind of like you’re filleting a fish. Do the same thing with an equal number of string cheeses and slide the cheese halves into the chicken pocket you’ve created.
Get yourself some quality bacon. I recommend Rocco’s Sun-Dried Tomato bacon to add a little zest to your meal. Wrap the stuffed chicken breasts with the bacon and place in a baking dish.
Bake the bacon-wrapped chicken in a pre-heated oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. While the chicken is baking, make your side dishes. You’ll probably have a couple extra slices of bacon after wrapping the chicken, so I suggest making some sauteed carrots with fresh garlic, pepper, and tasty bacon. Combine all those elements along with a couple tablespoons of butter and a some olive oil and let all that saute for 15 minutes or so.
I also warmed up a few sweet potatoes to balance out the meal. Overall this was an amazingly delicious and extremely simple meal to make. It will be sure to impress bacon lovers and casual porcines as well.

Fellow bacon lover Grant has created one of the most spectacular uses of bacon we’ve seen in quite some time. The BACO! Before we get too far into things though, a word from Grant on pronunciation:
baco ba·co [bah-koh]
noun
Success embodied and carved into a convenient hand-sized package of glory.
See, it’s not “bake-o”, it is “bah-koh“, got it? You know, like a taco. A taco BUT WITH A BACON SHELL! Here is a rhyme you may use to help you with this pronounciation: “Crumble crumble little taco, don’t you wish you were a baco?” Also you may use this classic: “One, two, buckle my taco/ three, four, give me a baco.”
To state things simply, the baco is a taco made with a shell of 100% bacon. The steps to make this tasty treat are fairly simple.
- Make a woven bacon shell, put it over a mold and bake it until crispy
- Fill the bacon shell with all the yummy toppings you desire
- Eat and be merry
It really is that simple and Grant has simplified the process even further for you by providing you a recipe guide for many types of bacos:
- Breakfast Baco
- Greek Baco
- Caprese Baco
- Rosemary Baco
- ULTIMATE Baco
We’ve got only one suggestion for you — make yourself a baco…and smile

On Sunday, September 21 our Bacon Cinnamon Rolls recipe made the main page of TasteSpotting.com (that’s our photo on the top row, third from the left). We found their site via StumbleUpon and thought we might as well submit a bacony-good concoction to the TastSpotting team.
Make sure to visit TasteSpotting.com. They have a fantastic collection of unique food ideas.
