How easy can it get? My daughter's favorite at last night's little fiesta-so much so that her diet went kablooey and she had a second helping. Should have doubled up on the sauce though, not that there wasn't enough mind you, but I caught her scooping it up like it was a meal in itself! LOL, gotta love that girl...ZWT3

Now this is GOOOOOD! I like the ease of preparation, I like the great looks of the finished dish, & I like the taste of it all! Gotta admit that I cut back on the salt, both on the chicken & in the sauce, & I also used only 2 slices of bacon. In spite of all that, the chicken was OUTSTANDING, & considering the chef, it was almost like 'magic [at least in its affect on my dinner mates ~ rave after sickening rave]!' Many thanks for posting this!
