A delightful twist on a classic chicken dish, combining creamy cheese, smoky bacon, and a zesty sauce.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Place the chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap to avoid mess.
Spread a portion of cream cheese and diced green chilies onto each chicken breast.
Ensure the filling is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Roll up each chicken breast and wrap with a slice of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
Wrap the bacon tightly to keep the roll intact during cooking.
Place the chicken rolls in a baking dish.
Use a dish that fits the rolls snugly to keep them upright.
In a bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, milk, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure a smooth sauce.
Pour the sauce over the chicken rolls.
Ensure the sauce covers the rolls evenly for maximum flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken rolls hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
