I didn't follow the directions very well, but we loved this idea. I sauteed the mushrooms and onion in 1 tbsp oil, added garlic and then deglazed with about 1/4 cup white wine. I used 14 oz chicken stock and 1 cup orzo, covered and simmered for 7 minutes and then added the parsley, cheese and a splash of fat free cream. This is my husbands new favorite side, big compliment coming from him. I've made this 3 times already. Thanks for the recipe!

I've been making a similar recipe from another site for years, it's one of my favorites. I just use cream cheese, more green onion and add about 1/8 tsp of minced garlic. This mix can just be plopped right on top of the chicken. Then instead of pre-cooking the bacon, it can be cut into thirds and just layered on top the cream cheese mix. I sprinkle paprika on top for color and a few grinds of cracked black pepper. The bacon will turn out crisp. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes and serve with a fresh tomato and pasta side. I do love the idea of the red pepper in this and I will try it. And with all those calories, this is a special occasion dish for us!

Very good. I use cream of mushroom soup and I can never find cream cheese with chives, so I just use plain and add green onions. Nice and creamy, great with a glass of Chard.
