yum! I also used bacon, and I diced the chicken, simply because we prefer it that way. Lovely sauce, succulent chicken, didn't take long to prepare for an excellent dinner, served over rice. Thank you, keort, this dish was made for I Recommend tag game.

Awesome. We had to substitute ordinary bacon for prosciutto, but if that hurt anything, the dish survived nicely. Made for PAC Spring 2013.
