- Remove to a paper towel and set aside.
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of waxed paper and evenly pound to 1/4-inch thickness, either with the smooth side of a meat mallet or a small, heavy pan. Season on both sides with the salt and pepper.Stir the onion and garlic into the cream cheese until well blended; divide evenly between the chicken by placing a dollop in the center of each breast.
- Roll or fold the chicken around the cream cheese mixture, tucking the ends under and securing with toothpicks.
- Sprinkle the tarragon evenly over the chicken packages, and wrap each with a piece of bacon.
- Place in an 8x11 baking dish and drizzle with the melted butter.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is done, the bacon is browned and the cream cheese is heated all the way through.
- Serve immediately.
