    We moved a couple months ago and the only ingredients I had was enough to make this dish for 10 people. Everyone loved the dish and asked for seconds! I modified the recipe so some cheese and bacon was inside the chicken as well. - 11/19/11

    Not too bad. I butterflied the chx, put the bacon and cheese in the middle and baked it for 30 mins on 350. I used low sodium turkey bacon and reduced fat cheddar cheese. Also, next time I think I will cover it so it doesn't get too dry. I also added garlic powder, paprika, and pepper. - 2/2/11

    OMG! This was sooo good! I couldn't get over how easy it was to fix it. I had a meeting to go to last night and I wanted to quickly fix something. It was a great meal. I cooked a pot of mixed vegetables to add to the meal. Gotta add those! - 1/8/09

    My bacon bits burned quite a bit, so I couldn't use them, but the flavor was still there. I'd probably bake it next time. - 6/3/11

    Sounds good. It reminds me of a recipe I used to make while I was doing Atkins. I had no idea it was so low-cal. I can have it on WW, too! Great news. Thanks. - 5/27/09
