Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese and Green Chile Chicken

The name pretty much says it all. Rachael Ray says to roll it up and cook on the grill but we lost a lot of filling that way and burned the bacon.

Serves 6

3 chicken breasts, butterflied and pounded flat (so now you have 6 pieces of chicken)
1 pkg cream cheese
1 can diced green chilies
6 strips of bacon

Mix cream cheese and green chiles in a bowl until smooth.  Put a big glob in the center of each chicken piece.  Roll the chicken up.  Wrap with bacon.  Secure with toothpicks if you need to and place in a baking dish. Bake at 375 until done. 

The bacon under the chicken doesn't get browned so I didn't eat it.  It might be better just to lay the bacon only on top of the chicken so it all gets nice and crispy.
