  1. My husbach and I made this with some grated sharp cheddar cheese added the last few minutes of baking. It was awesome.
     
  2. I made this recipe for "pick your chef" and I am so glad that I did! This recipe is so easy and yet it the presentation is awesome. This would be a great dish to serve to guests. I was wondering how the cream cheese would stay on the chicken under the bacon, but I followed the directions and it worked great. The bacon around the chicken made the chicken amazingly juicy. I will be making this often, thanks for sharing this.
     
  3. AWESOME! This was very simple to make,very moist and delicious! I didn't have green onions so I used a small yellow onion that seemed to work fine! Thanks for a great recipe!
     
  4. Yum, and going into my 'best of' cookbook! I reduced this for DH and myself, using 1 huge breast, to split between us. My green onions were gone over, so I just used a couple of cloves of garlic added to the cream cheese, and that was fabulous. Even after pounding the breast, it was still rather thick, so my cooking time was a bit longer, thru no fault of the recipe. My bacon got a bit 'done', but that is OK by us! This dish will really impress my friends, and I will be making it for them, and soon! Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe, ~Nimz~!
     
  5. Excellent, I used a shallot, and some fresh parsley, Very tasty. Thank you.

  1. Delicious, yet simple. Will definitely use it again and again. I used 1/4 cup of chives instead of green onion and fat free cream cheese. Also sesoned chicken with onion power prior to cooking and will try it with garlic power the next time. To add color/texture, I will try sauted mushroom and onion and a little thinly sliced red pepper.
     
  2. Hubby I liked this, and I thought it was ok. I guess I just thought the outside of the chicken- even with the bacon was a bit bland. However hubby had no problem with it and ate every last bite. Makeing this again, I may skip the bacon and just bread the chicken instead. Thanks for posting the recipe.

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
