This recipe is so simple to make, but looks and tastes very impressive. I made it the first time as written with good results. The second time I made it, I cooked the bacon for about 1 minute in the microwave, and dabbed with paper towels to get rid of some of the excess fat. I let it cool off, and then wrapped the chicken. This helped crisp the bacon during the baking process. I also drizzled each chicken breast with about 1 tsp. of maple syrup for a litte something extra.

This recipe is fantastic! I used chicken thighs (boneless skinless) so meat was extra flavorful and moist! I would suggest using fresh rosemary twigs if you like rosemary. Also, I followed others advice and used smaller pieces of chicken so they cooked faster. I roasted carrots, dutch baby potatoes, and broccoli with olive oil and rosemary and drizzled a little of the bacon-chicken runoff over them right before serving. Delish!

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
