Bacon Wrapped Chicken

On Friday night I was in charge of a formal dinner for 30 people.  I made this chicken and it was a huge hit with everyone.  The presentation was beautiful, the chicken was moist and the bacon was crispy... absolute perfection!

4-5 Chicken Breasts, fresh not frozen
1 8 oz. pkg. Cream Cheese
2-3 T. Fresh Chives
1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
4 Slices Bacon
Pepper

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Soften cream cheese then add chives, garlic powder and salt and blend with an electric mixer until smooth.  Pound chicken to 1/2 inch inside of a ziplock bag.  Spread a heaping tablespoon full of cream cheese mixture onto one side of each piece of chicken and roll up.  Wrap each portion with a slice of bacon and place in a greased baking dish.  Sprinkle pepper over top.  Bake for 40-45 minutes then broil for 3-5 minutes just before serving to crisp up bacon.  Watch carefully so the bacon doesn't burn but you want it to be as crispy as possible.
