1. Preheat oven to 325 F
2. Butter baking pan.
3. Pound chicken breast until flat (just enough to roll up).
4. Place 1 slice cream cheese in the middle of each breast.
5. Roll up the breast (it doesn't matter of a little of the cream cheese comes out of the sides).
6. Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each breast, then secure with toothpick, then place into prepared baking pan.
7. Mix undiluted soup with Parm cheese, sour cream, mayo, milk, onion, salt and black pepper; mix until well combined then pour over chicken.
8. Bake for about 45 min or until the chicken is 160 F.
9. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheddar cheese then return to oven for a few min. to melt cheese.

NOTE: If I do not have Cream of Chicken Soup on hand, I substitute a Bechamel sauce with chicken bouillon added.
