Bacon Wrapped Chicken

Always a popular choice for week night dinners, this Bacon Wrapped Chicken is kept moist & juicy with a boost of added flavor. 

It has been over 3 weeks since school started and the kids' activities are back in full swing too. I am so glad that both Bella and Jamie are having a great time learning and making new friends. However, for me, this is the time of the year that I often struggle a little to be as productive as I hope to be. While we truly enjoy the warm summer days, I always look forward to fall. Not just for the cool weather but also for the upcoming holidays. I can't help but feel that this is a very festive time of the year - with Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up. So, I guess I am still pretty much on holiday mode.

But life cannot be on a standstill, especially if we have our family depending on us. So, quick and easy recipes are my go-to for week night dinners. I always try to make it a point to have warm homemade meals for the family during the week nights, despite having to run from one after school activity to another. And this Bacon Wrapped Chicken recipe is a hit with my family. It is simple to make, delicious and cleaning up after is a breeze.
