Bacon-Wrapped Chicken

Here is how I describe this chicken…DELICIOUS!!  I loved it!  I am not a gourmet cook, or even a great cook, but it tasted like something you could get in a good restaurant!  I loved the cream cheese filling, the tender chicken, and the bacon to bring it all together!  Even my kids liked it… and that is saying something since they won’t usually eat meat!

Plus, here is the best part… it really wasn’t hard to make, so that made it even better!

Here is the recipe!
