I have been baking my Thanksgiving turkey with this method for years and it works so well, but I never thought about cooking whole chickens throughout the year like this...what a wonderful idea!

My husband has a signature dish, the only thing he can cook succefully, He cooks chicken breasts this way, wrapped in bacon, then slices each breast, into large cubes, bacon still on the chicken, then adds to a rich, creamy pasta bake!!!! It is sooooo delish, and very, very more-ish.

This recipe sounded just what I would like. However, after reading the first four reviews, why on earth would I want to try a recipe that had to have so many changes in order to be given five stars. I just deleted the whole thing.

I've made chicken breasts stuffed with creme cheese and wrapped in bacon...it's wonderful. It's crazy when people rate a recipe after changing it so much that it's not even the original recipe!

I do this all the time with a pork loin or pork tenderloin, especially good when roasted with pineapples or apples.

Our family has done this with holiday turkeys for generations---can't imagine why it isn't more common--easy and delish!

Nothing new about wrapping chicken or turkey in bacon. I have done it for years, my mother before me and her mother before her. This is an excellent way of keeping the bird moist. If I am cooking just breasts, I "pin" the bacon on.

I stuff mine with boxed stuffing mix and simmer it in a gravy of condensed cream of chicken soup. My family loves it.
