Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Chicken

4 oz cream cheese
½ c Italian bread crumbs
½ c thawed and drained frozen spinach
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 egg lightly beaten
½ c diced mushrooms
2/12 c cooked and cooled flavored rice
5-6 chicken breasts
10-12 strips of uncooked bacon

Slice chicken length wise but don't cut all the way through. Lay flat between wax paper pound with a meat mallet to make the chicken lay flat. In a medium bowl mix all other ingredients until well mixed. Scoop 1/3 of a cup into the center of the chicken. Roll it and then wrap two slices of bacon around it. Continue to do this to all the chicken breasts. Place a cooling rack on a cookie sheet and put the chicken on top. This will help the bacon on the bottom to get crisp a little too. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way through.
