Bacon Wrapped Chicken

I cooked this tonight for dinner and oh boy was it yummy. A huge huge hit.

6 chicken breast halves
8 oz whipped cream cheese with onion and chive
1 tbsp butter - cubed
salt
6 slices bacon

Flatten chicken to 1/2 in thickness. Spread 3 tablespoons cream cheese over each. Dot with butter and sprinkle with salt. Roll up. Wrap each with a bacon strip.

Place seam side down in a greased 13x9 pan.

Bake uncovered 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or until juices run clear.

Just a note - the cream cheese did run all over the pan a bit, but we just scooped it up and poured over the chicken. Yummy. I also thought that next time I would try the garlic/herb cream cheese since we love garlic in this house. But it was very delicious and definitely a repeat meal.

I've made this before, except mine had a sauce consisting of a can of cream of chicken soup, and some spices. It made for a much jucier chicken, plus gave you some chicken gravy to pour over mashed potatoes.
 
I make a very similar recipe only using regular cream cheese because I found that the whipped is runnier. But this meal is awesome!
