This is a great chicken recipe that I found on one of the Bed&Breakfast Inns sites. We love it and so easy to make

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped green onion
8 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded flat
salt & pepper
16 slices bacon

Directions

1
Mix cream cheese and onions.
2
Divide into 8 balls.
3
Salt and pepper chicken and place cheese-onion ball in center of each piece.
4
Wrap each piece of chicken in 2 strips of bacon (one strip in each direction), so that cheese is completely sealed inside.
5
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-50 minutes or until chicken is done.

Hubby I liked this, and I thought it was ok. I guess I just thought the outside of the chicken- even with the bacon was a bit bland. However hubby had no problem with it and ate every last bite. Makeing this again, I may skip the bacon and just bread the chicken instead. Thanks for posting the recipe.

Delicious and easy! I used a light version of the cream cheese, added 1 teaspoon mince garlic to the cream cheese mixture, seasoned my chicken with lots of lemon pepper, baked for 50 minutes, and broiled for 4 minutes to get the bacon a tad crisp. I did put foil underneath it to help for an easier clean up. Thanks ~Nimz~ for sharing. Made for Everyday is a Holiday.

Wow, what a great chicken dish! Such a big reward for so very little effort. I did make one change, I added about a 1/2 teaspoon of crushed garlic to the cream cheese mixture. I have no idea why, just seemed like the thing to do! Oh, and I also added a little paprika for color. I served this with a pasta dish and a cherry tomato and green onion salad and DH asked if we had anymore chicken, although he had told me he wasn't that hungry. We ate every bite. This will become a regular...I would certainly prepare this for guests. Thanks for a great recipe! **Reposted because I forgot to add the stars!

We have made a similar recipe before but the chicken was rolled up - this was so much easier. I used Lite Cream Cheese with Chives and Onions spread thickly on each breast wrapped with center cut bacon. Delish! I worried it might "leak" because it was "lite" but it stayed just fine. I put the pan under the broiler for a few minutes at the end to crisp the bacon. This is the way I'll make it from now on. Very good!
