Really tasty and very bacon-y! I had a difficult time making pockets in the chicken breasts, so would probably just butterfly them next time. I also recommend seasoning the chicken with salt and pepper before wrapping in the bacon. Green beans were delicious and so easy! -

I agree with Syd about the prep time.....way off. Other than that I cut this down to two breasts and should have made one for the two of us. My chicken didn't really brown very well. I also cooked the bacon a little before wrapping around the chicken. My chicken turned out a little dry and a lot of the filling ran out, but it still was delicious. The green beans were very good with a little vinegar as diner added. Thanks for sharing. Made for Fall PAC 2011 -
If I'd looked at the length of time needed to prepare this, I'd never have tagged it, but that time IS wrong, by a long shot! As it was, I used 8 breasts, doubling that part of the recipe, & followed it right on down (almost, anyway, except that I fried the bacon until it was somewhat cooked but still pliable)! One of the breasts, & the beans were for the two of us, while the rest of the breasts were given as part of my one-time contribution to the meals that a group I know distributes to the homeless! We loved the breast AND the beans & I'll definitely be making this again for the 2 of us! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this fall's round of Pick A Chef] -
Delicious!!! Loved both the chicken and the beans. The only thing I changed was to add some apple cider vinegar to the green beans for some tang, as that is how I grew up eating them. For the chicken, I did broil it for a bit in the end to crisp up the bacon. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for the Pick A Chef Event.
