My Comments:

This meal was pretty good. I had to cook the chicken a little longer than usual to make sure it was done. I am weird about chicken though and have to have it almost to the point where it is dry. The bacon was really limp. When I make this again, I might cook the bacon a little first before putting it on the chicken. Other than that it was a pretty good meal.

My Comments:

I didn't measure everything out exactly because I thought I could guess but it ended up being a little too saucey.  Next time I will follow the directions a little closer.  I will probably add peppers and onions to give it a little more flavor as well. Over all loved this recipe! The meatloaf was even better for leftovers the next day!!
