Chicken Breasts with Bacon

6 chicken breasts, skinned, boned, and divided in half
8 ounces cream cheese
6 green onions, chopped
24 slices bacon, raw

Cream cream cheese and green onions together; form into 12 walnut-sized balls. Wrap half a chicken breast around each one and two slices bacon around that (in such a way as to cover as much of the chicken as possible.) Secure each little bundle with a toothpick or two. Broil them on a rack with a drip pan underneath, about 6-8" away from the broiler unit. Turn the chicken breasts occasionally and broil them about 30 minutes or until the bacon is well done.
