Fantastic!! I can't believe no one has tried this recipe. It came together beautifully and the taste was excellent. We used regular bacon since we couldn't find apple-smoked. It would help to let the cream cheese come to room temperature so it would be easier to spread. Other than that, this is a true 5-star recipe in our house. Lovely!

My husband keeps asking me to make this chicken again and again for him since it's his favorite. Sometimes I stuff the cream cheese in half a jalapeño pepper and roll it into the chicken along with the spinach or other veggies that I have on hand. I usually just use regular bottled ranch dressing and that works well too. And the applewood bacon really adds a great flavor. It comes out great either baked in the oven or grilled on my Weber. It's a winner every time!
