These tasted good but they didn't turn out quite like I wanted.The cheese melted away into the pan while they were cooking.I also did not like chicken broth mixture,it was too jelly-like.I made it but did not even use it after all.I wouldn't make these again,not the way this recipe states anyway.I will use my own bacon wrapped chicken recipe and place some cheddar on top in the last few minutes of baking. -
This dish was absolutely WODERFUL!! My picky daughter ate it and asked for more!! i served over rice to make a complete meal.
