Bacon-Wrapped Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts

MMMMmmmm....bacon. 

Recently on Facebook there has been an influx of "share this so it saves it on your timeline" recipes. I shake my head and wonder why these people don't use Pinterest for this purpose, so you're not scrolling through 8 days worth of posts for one recipe. Well, I'm not gonna lie, I got snagged by one my dear friend Jill shared and then posted a picture of her dinner that night. 
There it was "Bacon Wrapped, Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts" and it looked delicious. 


The great thing about this particular recipe is you can change the number of servings, swap the plain cream cheese for a flavored one, stuff with spinach, the possibilities are endless. Tonight I used the Philadelphia brand  jalapeño cream cheese spread. Dinner was delicious and it didn't disappoint. I served up the chicken alongside some Alexis brand roasted red potatoes. Hope you all enjoy this simple and versatile recipe.
