After opening my freezer and grabbing a package of bacon and a package of chicken breasts, I put the chicken in the mic to defrost while I googled for a recipe. This was the 2nd one I pulled up. So glad I didn't give it a 2nd thought. It was very easy to assemble. I popped it in the oven and prepared some veggies and another side to serve with it.

Will use this frequently... and will try some other cream cheese flavors too. The chicken wasn't dry as some mention. Maybe they beat theirs thinner than I did. Mine was nice and moist.

It was ok but not as good as we expected. The bacon didn't cook on the bottom. i had to turn it over and broil more then the chicken got dry. I might try it again with some variations. The idea was good I just couldn't pull it off for some reason.

I give it 5 stars because of how simple and easy it was. The end result was yummy, but not out of this world. I didn't use butter or extra salt, and I didn't miss it. Its nothing fancy but, as my husband says, it looks fancy. I was really please that the cooking instructions were perfect. The chicken cooked through without drying out, and the bacon was just crispy enough. I will definitely make it again!

I had Honey Maple Bacon on hand, so I used plain cream cheese instead of onion & chive.

It turned out wonderfully. I can't wait to try it again with the original recipe.
