Assembling Your Balls
1. Cut bacon into small pieces, then cook thoroughly.

meat and flatten it into a patty about the diameter of a softball.
4. In a small bowl, place 1/4 cup cheese, 2 TBSP bacon, a dash or garlic, basil & lemon pepper,
then smash it all together into a ball.
5. Place the cheese ball in the middle of the chicken patty.
6. Use the plastic wrap to fold the chicken meat around the cheese ball, then press chicken meat
together to make a solid sphere.
7. Place in Freezer for at least 1 hour or until chicken has frozen solid.
