Instructions
1
Prepare and Roll Chicken
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lay the chicken thighs flat and, if needed, give them a gentle pound with a meat mallet to even them out. Spread a good layer of cream cheese over each piece. Next, roll up the thighs, folding in the sides as you go. Wrap each roll with at least one slice of bacon and pop a skewer through to keep everything together.

Bake Chicken Rolls
Place the chicken rolls in a deep baking dish, then pour the whole can of condensed cream of chicken soup over them. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for about 20 minutes. After that, take off the foil and bake for another 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, the juices run clear, and the bacon is nice and crispy.
