INGREDIENTS

24 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 T. garlic, salt & pepper

6 T. butter
1 lb.  bacon
¾ c. Dijon mustard
¾ c. honey
6 T. corn syrup 
6 T. mayonnaise
3 c.  shredded Colby or cheddar cheese

PROCEDURE
Remove any visible fat and gristle from each chicken breast. Place one breast, boned side up, between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Working from the center to the edges, lightly pound each chicken breast with the flat side of a meat mallet to approximately ½-inch thickness.

In a large skillet over medium-high, heat butter. Season each breast with garlic, salt & pepper. Sauté approximately 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Place 4 breasts (or 1 per serving) in each tin.

In the same skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Drain and crumble or chop bacon. Sprinkle over chicken breasts, dividing evenly among tins.

In a large bowl, mix together mustard, honey, corn syrup, and mayonnaise. Spoon honey mustard over the meat, then dividing evenly among tins. Sprinkle ½ cup (or 2 tablespoons per serving) cheese over chicken breasts. Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap, pressing down to cling to food. Apply lid. Freeze.

REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS
Defrost in refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350°. Remove board lid and plastic wrap. Cover loosely with foil to prevent drying. Bake precooked chicken until bubbly around the edges and heated through (approximately 20-25 minutes). Bake fresh chicken until done (approximately 30-40 minutes).

In a microwave, heat 1 1/2 cups of water. Mix in box of stuffing until moist. Divide the stuffing evenly over the 6 foil packets.
Next, layer chicken, chopped ham, mushrooms and peas on top of stuffing.

Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal pack, leaving room for heat to circulate inside.
Place foil packs on a 15 x 10 inch baking pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. (if your chicken breasts are large or thick, you may wnat to extend the cooking time).
Remove from oven. Let stand 5 minutes. Place packets directly on the dinner plate. Since they are HOT, cut slits into the foil to release the steam before opening.
