I'm not one of those "everything is better with bacon" persons
although BBQ bacon wrapped shrimp is pretty darned good. At least
your bacon isn't like ours (it's meatier), so the end result had to be
better than I'm imagining it would be on this side of the pond.

Have you tried wrapping your chicken with prosciutto, which is what
that recipe is derived from? I do it the "easy way" and just lay a
piece of prosciutto on top. It actually adheres to the chicken, so
the end result is as if it was wrapped (without the fuss). Provolone
is melted over after it's cooked. I'd serve mine with sautéed spinach
and pasta dressed with butter or olive oil.
