This was delicious. I made the recipe as written but wondered if it could be made in the microwave one breast at a time. I am single and am always eating leftovers from recipes like this. Anybody try it?

Very tasty and easy recipe. We enjoyed it. I used thick cut bacon. Will make again. Thanks for the recipe :)

This is a wonderful recipe. The chicken was moist and very flavorful. My family loved it. I cooked the bacon in the microwave for 2 minutes before placing on the chicken. It makes for a beautiful dish. Can't believe how quick and easy it was. I also flattened the chicken just a little to help it cook through.

I liked this recipe but I would not pre cook the bacon next time. Also, I think it needs more basil. I guess it's according to one's own taste.

I tried this out tonight. Yum!!!! Absolutely delicious and it will become a frequent meal in our home. This will be a great entree for guests- I plan on making it again next week when my mom visits. Thankyou for such a tasty and even attractive addition to my menus!

Excellent! Had only thick-cut bacon on hand, so cooked it a bit longer before topping the chicken, also only had grape tomatoes so I halved those. Also looking to reduce the number of dishes so lined the baking sheet I used to cook the bacon with foil and then cooked the chicken on the same pan with the bacon grease--not particularly healthy, but very YUMMY!

Only problem of the 'Five Star' system .. is thee should be a '6th Star.' This would get one.

I'm about 2 years late in reviewing this recipe. I first made it when I was 'Mommy sitting' my 90+ y.o. Mom.I made it as is, but inserted some garlic and added Italian seasoning along with the salt and pepper.I served it with hot buttered noodles. Mom started eating the noodles while I cut up some of the chicken for her. She then took a piece of chicken and she totally ignored the noodles, which she loves! So seldom have I seen her concentrate on only one item of food, but she did with this. She finally looked at me and said, "I can't eat any more!" We had the 're-dos', cold, for lunch the next day and the were amazing cold also!I've made this 'several many' times, and for Mom too, and I still totally enjoy it. It's a recipe that cannot be ignored - repeat, repeat, repeat!! TEN STARS!!!
