01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lay the chicken thighs flat and give them a little pound with a meat mallet if they’re uneven. Spread a nice layer of cream cheese over each one. Then, roll them up tightly, tucking the sides in as you go. Wrap each roll with at least one slice of bacon, and use a skewer to hold everything together.

Step 2
Place the chicken rolls in a deep casserole dish, and pour the whole can of condensed cream of chicken soup over them. Cover the dish with foil and pop it in the oven. Let it bake for about 20 minutes, then take off the foil and keep cooking until the chicken is cooked through, the juices run clear, and the bacon has crisped up nicely—this should take another 20 minutes or so.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines juicy, tender chicken with the smoky flavor of bacon. The creamy sauce adds a rich and comforting touch, making every bite satisfying. It’s a perfect balance of flavors that feels both indulgent and homey.
How to serve
Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad to add some brightness. Mashed potatoes or creamy polenta also pair well to soak up the sauce. A simple side of steamed rice can balance the richness nicely.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the chicken tender. Avoid reheating bacon too long to prevent it from becoming tough.
