This recipe can be made many ways. Switch up the cheeses to keep it interesting. The chicken is wrapped in my homemade bacon (recipe coming soon) which makes it especially tasty without all the junk. I like to serve this with a roasted vegetable so this is a great way to use up random veggies from the refrigerator.
