  1. It was good,I baked it to cut down on the fat since it had bacon and cheese already.It tasted like it was missing some thing.
     
  2. its true you can do almost anything with this, i baked mine without the breadcrumbs but wrapped the chicken in palma ham and a drizzle of garlic oil. YUMMY. thanks so much for a lovely easy recipe
     
  3. Hello There! :) I made this last night, but just a tad bit different. I didn't have anything to make breadcrumbs, so I improvised and used potato flakes with the seasonings. I kow that is a big difference in the recipe, but it turned out good. I felt it had to have some kind of coating. I served this with corn and rolls. Next time, I'll make sure to have some breadcrumbs! Thank you, and there WILL be a next time! :)

  5. I gave this 5 stars. My family really liked this chicken recipe. I had 4 boneless & skinless chicken breasts (not flattened) to use up. I did not fry my bacon crisp just till browned and I cut it into 1-inch pieces. I used 4 slices of monterey jack cheese (per breast) that I sliced with my cheese cutter into long cracker size pieces. I also placed my bacon between my slices of cheese. I used 2 eggs but I think 1 would have been plenty. I used 1 cup italian style bread crumbs. I love Thyme so I used 1 tsp dried thyme. I don't care for rosemary so I used 1/2 tsp crushed rosemary. I used 1/4 tsp salt and pepper. I took the suggestion of another reviewer and held my chicken breast closed with tooth picks. I did not fry my breast in olive oil I fryed them in canola oil. I then baked them in my oven for 30 minutes on 350. These turned out great and so yummy. Thanks for posting a really good recipe.
