Was gong to cut this recipe in half for the 2 of us, but then checked with a house-bound neighbor couple & they were happy to take half of the recipe off my hands! Totally agreement ~ These were wonderfully delicious & since we love chicken breasts, I'll be keeping this easy-to-prepare recipe on hand! Thanks for sharing it!

I made this for supper last night. I omitted the sage and used recipe #187210 instead. I cooked them for the first six minutes on a grill pan to remove most of the bacon grease and transferred them to a frying pan to finish cooking. I made chicken gravy out of the drippings and some chicken bouillon. It was awesome! My only complaint is that the bacon on the sides of the chicken tenders did not crisp. So, next time, I will cook them some on the sides too. If the bacon on the sides had crisped, this definitely would have been a 5-star! Thank you!
