Some of the reviews here are not for this recipe but for creations of their own making. I made the recipe exactly as written. I thought it was good but not fantastic. The turkey bacon was soft and added moisture and flavor to the chicken since turkey bacon tends to not crisp up like pork bacon so I didn't expect this to be super crispy. The chicken was very moist and the filling was creamy but it needed a little something else to give it a boost. I added salt and pepper on top of the chicken but it could have used a rub or poultry seasoning or something to kick up the flavor profile. It was quick, easy and used ingredients I had on hand so that works for me. All in all a good solid dish.

This recipe is bad because current cream is not the consistency that it needs to be compared to 15 years ago the cream cheese just melts out before it firmed up. I have been looking for ten year for good old grade cream cheese not bagel cream cheese in block already whipped.

Tasted good, but the wrapping in bacon and securing with tooth picks just eluded me. The chicken didn't fold all the way over the cream cheese mixture, and it just squished out of the sides when I tried to secure with toothpicks. I ended up laying the bacon and the sauce over the chicken.

Yummy! I love cream cheese! Next time I will pound out the chicken and then roll it up so it cooks better. I didnt add the bacon ontop but I did dip the stuffed chicken in egg and then rolled it in some seasoned bread crumbs. I also Added some crunchy onions in the cream cheese mix! Will try out different flavors next time but a definite keeper!

This was very good. I failed to take bacon out of the freezer so it wasn't wrapped. (I will wrap it next time to try the intended flavor) I seasoned the chicken with salt and pepper and added a little Parmesan cheese to the filling. I also put a touch of bacon grease on top of the chicken for that bacon flavor (no butter). There was no bacon flavor from that experiment, just some added fat. Lol! Thanks for this recipe. It's a keeper!

This is a great recipe and I swear you could put just about anything rolled up inside a chicken breast and it's bound to be good. Plus the combination of cream cheese, chives, and bacon was a clue to me that this was going to be tasty. Given that my husband loves bacon I had to give this a try. But, I did make a couple of changes... First I pounded my chicken breasts down thin. Second I used fresh chives vs. dried and aded a little onion powder to the cream cheese mixture. I cooked my bacon (real bacon, not turkey bacon) just until tender-crisp and placed that onto the chicken breasts then added the cream cheese mixture and secured with toothpicks. I dipped the chicken in egg and then seasoned Italian bread crumbs to form a light coating. I then drizzled it with a little melted butter and baked at 375 for 30 mintues. The result was a very moist and flavorful chicken bursting with a delicious cream cheese and bacon center!

Yummy! I did need to tweak it a bit though to add flavor. Here's what I did: - chicken: I marinated it with garlic salt, a little olive oil, pepper, basil and minced garlic - filling: I mixed mozzarella and parmesan cheese with the cream cheese and chives. - butter: added more and brushed it on before and during It was sooo good! Everyone loved it!
