This is one of the favorites from our Sunday Brunches. The combination of the two sauces, the bacon and chicken hits the palate just right.
If you are not a big fan of Canadian Bacon you can use some good ham or even really good thick sliced pepper bacon.
Serve this with a nice crisp white wine.

This is a great dish to use up leftovers around the Holidays too. You can use nice thick roast turkey slices in place of the chicken and you can use up your baked ham in place of the Canadian Bacon. It's an elegant and delicious way to make something different out of those leftovers and your family will think you just came up with something new!
