Date night chicken.

I was recently in Publix while they were sampling one of their new delicious recipes.
It smelled heavenly & I couldn't resist the chance to taste it.
One bite later, I knew that it was a winner!
I bought the few ingredients that we didn't have at home & made it the very next week.
Without further ado...Date Night Chicken!

Ingredients
8–10 pitted dates, coarsely chopped
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 oz Deli goat cheese, crumbled
3 slices bacon
1 3/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic/herb seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup white wine (or chicken broth) 

Prep

• Chop dates (1 cup). Slice shallots.
• Crumble cheese.
• Cut bacon into 1/2 inch pieces.

Steps

1. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season chicken with herb seasoning and pepper (wash hands). Place oil in pan, then add chicken; cook 2–3 minutes each side or until browned. Remove chicken from pan.
2. Reduce heat to medium and add bacon; cook 3–4 minutes or until crisp. Add shallots and dates; cook 2 more minutes.
3. Remove pan from heat. Add wine and return chicken to pan. Reduce heat to low and cover; simmer 10–12 minutes or until chicken is 165°F.
4. Remove chicken from pan and cut into slices. Spoon date mixture on top of chicken; top with cheese. Serve.

P.S. Don't let the dates scare you...they pair amazingly with the bacon & feta! You can find the recipe for the Baked Tomatoes here too...also delicious!
