In her kitchen in Ponca City, Oklahoma, LaDonna Reed spreads chicken breasts with a creamy filling, rolls them up, wraps them in bacon and bakes them. For a spicier version, she suggests that you try using sliced jalapeno peppers instead of green chilies.

Used 1 T. chopped jalapenos instead of green chilies for that extra "kick" we like. Very good!

Very good flavor! I thought it was a little messy to make, but still, I'd make it again.

Best chicken recipe I have ever made!! I suggest breading the chicken. It makes it extra wonderful. It's mine and my husband's fallback dinner when we don't know what else to make. Amazing!

This was delicious! I used jalapenos because I didn't have chlies, but I'll definitely be experimenting with more filling again.

I make this for dinner parties served with rice. Always a favorite.
