To-die-for chicken rollups
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Cream cheese, softened
Fresh chives
Bacon
Trim any fat off the chicken and pound each breast to about 1/4- or 1/2-inch thickness. (I pound mine between two pieces of plastic wrap so I don't splash chicken bits across my counter). Spread each breast with an ounce or two of cream cheese — this will go a lot easier if you soften or melt the cream cheese in the microwave first. Sprinkle fresh chives over the cream cheese, the roll the chicken up from end to end. Wrap each roll in a slice or two of raw bacon. Place each roll, seam-side-down, in a casserole dish with sides, and bake at 350 until chicken is done (takes about 20-30 minutes I think). If you like, you can broil for a minute or two to crisp the bacon, but I skip this step.
The melting cream cheese and residual bacon fat make a sauce so delicious that I could just lick the dish to get every drop.  Enjoy!
