Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large rimmed cookie sheet with aluminum foil and top with a wire baking rack. Set aside.
- Slice chicken breasts thinly in half to create two thin breasts. You will have 8 total after slicing. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Top each chicken breast with half of a green chile, a slice of cream cheese (about 1 oz), and evenly sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese. Roll each chicken breast into a bundle, wrap with a piece of bacon, and secure with a toothpick.
- Place the bacon wrapped chicken bundles on top of the rack on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Turn on the oven broiler and place chicken on the top rack of the oven closest to the broiler. Allow the chicken to broil for about 3-5 minutes, until bacon is crispy. Enjoy!

SWEET CHICKEN BACON WRAPS (PAULA DEEN)
Hey you Paula Deen fans, she has a new magazine, "Cooking with Paula Deen"--this recipe is from the premier issue. It was so yummy looking, I couldn't wait to try it. I added another 15 minutes to the cooking time suggested (30-35 minutes) and It was just right, but oven temperatures vary, so check on it during the last few minutes of cooking time. I'm also going to add a few dashes of cayenne pepper next time for something hot and sweet!

- Make sure the bacon is crispy: Cook the bacon until it is crispy and browned, but not burnt.
