I love recipes that can easily be adapted, and this one is perfect because there are so many different things you could do with it. Try it and I promise you will love it!

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.

You just cant go wrong with this tasty chicken dish. I would be proud to serve it to company, and yet it is so easy that it is great for any day of the week. Crispy and flavorful on the outside, moist and juicy on the inside...and a real kid-pleaser. Why not add some red potatoes in the same dish alongside the chicken (poke holes in them or half if large) and bake for an easy side? Lovely served with a green salad for a complete meal with minimal effort. Recipe easily tripled for OAMC. Enjoy! From the book: Don't Panic: Dinner's in the Freezer

Tips:
- Choose flavorful fillings: The success of your chicken bundles heavily relies on the flavors of your filling. Experiment with different combinations of herbs, spices, and vegetables to create a filling that complements the chicken well. Some popular options include spinach and feta, sundried tomatoes and pesto, or a mixture of sautéed mushrooms, onions, and garlic.
- Use high-quality chicken: Opt for organic or free-range chicken breasts for the best flavor and texture. If possible, try to get boneless, skinless chicken breasts to save time on preparation.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can quickly become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety and juiciness.
- Make sure the bundles are tightly sealed: To prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking, make sure to wrap the chicken bundles tightly with prosciutto or bacon. Use toothpicks or kitchen twine to secure the bundles if needed.
- Cook the bundles over medium heat: Cooking the bundles over medium heat allows the chicken to cook evenly without burning the prosciutto or bacon. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a consistent temperature.
- Let the bundles rest before serving: Once the bundles are cooked through, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Chicken bundles are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as part of a party spread. With endless possibilities for fillings and cooking methods, there's a chicken bundle recipe for every taste and occasion. So, experiment with different flavors and techniques to create your own signature chicken bundle recipe and impress your family and friends with this culinary delight.
