Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts
"My cousin gave this recipe to me in a cookbook she made for my wedding gift. When I got married I didn't know how to cook anything but this is super easy to make and my husband still loves it! I leave out the chives because my husband doesn't like them. And I also use more black pepper than the recipe calls for. I like more in the sauce mixture & more on top of the chicken. Sometimes I have to use more than one slice of bacon to wrap the chicken if it's big."

This is the best chicken I have ever made!!! AWESOME!!! This will be a staple at our house from now on. My family absolutely loved it! Made exactly as shown except I used Miracle Whip instead of mayo, and chopped McCormick chives instead of fresh. If I could give this recipe 10 stars I would. -
I saved this recipe last week thinking my four-year old niece would like it. She loves bacon and likes chicken, soup, cheese...I figured it'd be a great recipe! Well, she helped me make it today and I even caught her sneaking the cream cheese into her mouth when she thought I wasn't looking, lol. Unfortunately, the idea of having a picky kid help cook because they'll be sure to eat what they make themselves didn't come true, but the three adults loved the results so I think that merits a five star. I didn't have chives or cream of chicken soup, so I used cilantro and cream of celery, but it was still yummy...wish I'd made enough for leftovers! -
You're right, this was easy to make. It's really good with some garlic mashed potatoes and a fresh salad. The sauce is very creamy and very good when you add extra pepper.
