I found this same recipe on Oprah's website. I browned the chicken really well and then baked it in the oven, skipping the broiler. I had it with steamed carrots with brown sugar, butter and pecans. The sweetness of the sauce of the carrots went really well with the saltiness of the bacon. This is definitely a keeper!
