This was okay, but it was missing something. Four cloves of garlic was too strong for the rest of the ingredients. The chicken turned out a little chewy, which I didn't expect with all the bacon drippings. I won't be making this one again, but it didn't ruin dinner either. It used up the items I had on hand. Handy recipe. -
This was tasty. I would have given five stars, but the cooking time was too long. Against my judgment, I followed the time listed. The chicken turned out dry. I subbed turkey bacon with good results. I also subbed parsley for the rosemary. I will make again, but after I adjust the cooking time. Thanks for posting! -
This recipe was wonderful. I've made it twice now. Like the other users, I didn't cook it quite as long. The first batch was WAY too garlic-y! However, I halved the amount of garlic, upped the bacon, cut back the cooking time and this is now one of our regular chicken recipes. Perfect for a low-carb diet. If you cut down on the bacon, it's not even that fatty! -
I came here to post this after making it for a friend, and I find it already posted! Most excellent taste. I baked mine in a cast iron skillet (which I greased with bacon grease), which made the cheese get crunchy-crusty around the chicken and was to die for. I also used six slices of bacon, but then we're bacon freaks. -
Wow- so simple yet very good. I used six chicken cutlets and doubled the rest of the ingredients but followed the recipe as written other then I used olive oil instead of canola as I didn't have any. Mine only took 30 minutes to cook and it was perfect. I knew this would be something I would love but the rest of the family loved it too. Great chicken dinner.

Boy did we love this!! Simple, flavorful, juicy...a real table-pleaser all the way around. I used fresh rosemary instead of dried, and subbed Swiss cheese for the mozzarella. Roasted fresh asparagus and pan fried potatoes went very well with this delicious chicken. You can bet we will be making this again!!

I also really like sewing. I make @ 1/3 of my daughters clothes. Reading is also a BIG staple in my life. One of my favorite ways to find a book is to walk into the library, pick a shelf and simply grab a book at random. I've read so many great books I probably wouldn't have found out any other way.
I also like to camp and fish with my DH. He eats, sleeps and breathes fishing. He would like to one day start his own company, he hand ties and sells fishing lures locally. And he loves my cooking and will try anything at least once. ;)
He works as a pressman at a local printing company.
