  1. We tried these at a party this weekend and they were terrific — every asked for the recipe. Can you give me the calories per serving?

    1. You can use any boneless chicken you would like. Chicken breasts will take longer to cook than tenderloins. The cooking time will just depend on how large the breasts are – use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165ºF.

  2. I am making these for supper tonight. Have them wrapped and seasoned, will put in oven a bit later. These are delicious, yummy, and this will be our third time having them! Easy to make and bake!

  3. FANTASTIC!!! I baked for 20 minutes and crisped up the bacon under the broiler for 3 (not on the highest rack) The juices that came off, I addes a dash of hot sauce and basted just before serving-Thank you for this wonderful recipe!

  4. I make these in my air fryer and my family loves it!! Bacon gets crispy and the chicken stays moist. Thanks for the idea!

    1. Amber, what settings do you use for the air fryer? I’m brand new to the air fryer world, but this sounds like a great dish to start with!

  5. I just made this last night for dinner, thanks for the recipe! I baked the chicken for 25 minutes & it came out incredibly tender. There was also a lot of oily juice left over, but I still made a side sauce for the chicken: a 1/4 cup of honey dijon mustard & a 1/4 cup of maple syrup. A dash of honey too. Simply delicious!

    1. I love the sauce idea! Did you use some of juices in the pan to make it? Or just the mustard and maple syrup and honey by itself?

  6. I have made these countless times, always to rave reviews !! My recipe came from Paula Deen's list of goodies years ago. It takes a bit of time to roll the chicken up in the bacon but it is well worth the effort. I even sent the recipe to a friend in England who was having a cocktail party and everybody across the pond loved them !!

    1. Green beans & chicken rice-a-roni, Lima beans & corn, green beans and some garlic noodles (or a box of pasta roni), broccoli and rice

  7. Yum! Those look really good. And easy is what I look for now that I can't stand as long as I used to be able to. Thanks
