  1. Love, Love, Love this recipe. I followed the recipe to the letter, since to me that is the only way to fairly rate a recipe. Its perfect as is.. Thank you for posting
     
  2. Love it add some lemon to the gravy and it gave it a Greek chicken taste
     
  3. "We really love it," says 6 yr. old Joel. We wrapped the chicken breasts with the bacon, as some advised, and baked it in the oven not making the gravy, since our family isn't into gravy. The paprika added nice color but not much flavor -- I'll probably add more next time. And we dumped a LOT of shredded cheddar on top, as well as loading the insides of the chicken with more than the recommended amount of sharp cheddar. Very tasty.
     
  4. This was a great quick dinner. I added some Italian Seasoning and it tasted great! Thanks for the recipe!
     
  5. Made these last night, my partner and I loved them. I baked them in the oven rather than doing them on the stove top, and used chicken bacon rather than the usual kind. So yummy, highly recommended!

  1. Absolutely wonderful! I made this dish two nights in a row because my husband loved it so much (and didn't leave leftovers). On the first night, I made the chicken according to the recipe, except, I stuffed the chicken with the whole slices of bacon, instead of crumbled bacon. For the sauce, I used the bacon grease instead of the oil and substituted flour for the cornstarch. It had a good taste, but was too thick. On the second night, I followed one of the other comments and wrapped the chicken with bacon, in addition to placing bacon inside the chicken. OK, so my husband was in hog heaven (no pun intended). As for the sauce, I doubled the amounts for the sauce and it came out much better (go figure). Wonderful recipe...highly recommended!!
