Don’t let the idea of cooking chicken and bananas together scare you… kids really enjoy this simple recipe.  Having a few kid-approved meals in mind while you’re planning for your holiday dinners is always a good idea!

4  skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 can corn kernels (drained)
2 bananas, peeled, each cut in half (4 pieces of banana)
1 1/2 cups cream
2 tablespoons butter
4 bacon strips
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350F.

Lightly oil a baking tray and spread corn evenly covering bottom of tray. Take the chicken breasts and carefully cut a small pocket in each chicken breast (slice into the side as if you were dividing into two thin pieces).

Press half a banana into chicken breast pocket (you can mash bananas to make this easier). Close chicken breasts and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place chicken breasts carefully on top of corn. Drizzle with cream. Cut the butter into small chunks and scatter evenly over corn on tray. Top each chicken breast with bacon slices.

Bake in preheated oven approximately 30 to 40 minutes or until bacon is crisp and chicken is cooked through.
