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! :)

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.
