Expert Tips

Use cut-up cooked rotisserie or deli chicken for the cooked chicken breast.

If you’d prefer, you can cook 15 slices of raw bacon until crisp and then crumble it instead of using the precooked bacon.

This tastes like it is right out of the expensive gourmet grocery store deli, plus the fire-roasted tomatoes add so much extra, rich flavor. This is a 5-star recipe I will make many times, especially when company is coming!
