How to Make Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Prepare the chicken: Gently pound 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
3. Stuff the chicken: Place 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese and 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh chives (optional) in the center of each chicken breast. Roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks.
4. Wrap with bacon: Wrap each chicken breast with 1-2 slices of bacon, depending on the size of the breast. Secure with toothpicks.
5. Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together 10.75 ounces (1 can) condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or more, to taste).
6. Assemble and bake: Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken.
7. Bake: Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
8. Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks and serving. Enjoy!
