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!

Steps:
- Place each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, and pound to 1/4 inch. Wrap 1 slice bacon around each chicken breast, starting and ending on bottom of chicken breast (bacon will go around chicken breast twice).

Carefully turn chicken, and continue to cook 4 to 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of chicken reads 165°F.
- Meanwhile, in large bowl, make dressing: Beat vinegar, mustard, honey, salt and pepper with whisk. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil slowly, beating to combine. Reserve 1/4 cup dressing; set aside. Add greens to remaining dressing, and toss to coat; divide evenly among 4 serving plates.
- Transfer chicken breasts to plate to cool slightly. Remove toothpicks. Top each salad with 1 chicken breast. Drizzle 1 tablespoon dressing over each chicken breast. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- For a crispier bacon wrapping, cook the bacon in a single layer in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, or until desired crispness is achieved.
- To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F.
- If you don't have toothpicks, you can secure the bacon wrapping with kitchen twine.
- For a spicier dish, use hotter chili peppers, such as jalapeños or habaneros.
- To make the dish ahead of time, cook the chicken and bacon according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Wrap the chicken and bacon together in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through.
