Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a small bowl, mix together all the GLAZE ingredients.
In a medium bowl, mix together all the CHEESE STUFFING ingredients.
Lengthwise, cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Stuff with the cheese mixture, dividing equally.
Wrap each chicken breast in 4-5 slices of bacon. Place the chicken breasts, seam side down in a lightly greased baking pan.
Top with the glaze mixture.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bacon is crispy and chicken is cooked through, basting the chicken occasionally with the pan drippings.
If you prefer extra crispy bacon, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.
