Kraft Fresh Take Cheddar Jack & Bacon

I got a free coupon from Kraft First Taste to try the new Kraft Fresh Take.  My store didn't have a lot of flavor options, so I picked the Cheddar Jack & Bacon.  I thought the idea of the Fresh Take was a little silly - how hard is it to mix your own shredded cheese and breadcrumbs?  Then I saw that it also includes a bag for coating your meat, which I thought was smart.  

When you open the package, the divider between the breadcrumbs and cheese opens and you can automatically mix them in the bag, the same bag you will use for coating. So you don't have to pour anything.  Just wet your meat and mix it up with the coating, then put it on the baking tray.  I butterflied my chicken breasts and was able to coat about 2 1/2 lbs of meat with the mix.

The bacon smell was very powerful, when I first opened the package and during baking.  This was a plus for my family - my kids love bacon.  Everyone in my family loved this flavor.  The coating mix was super flavorful, either from the spices or bacon, or both.  

The only thing I didn't like about this was that while the top of my chicken crisped up nicely, the bottom was kind of soggy. Maybe the chicken needed to be turned over during baking. Or maybe my non-stick mat is to blame.

The regular price at my Walmart was $2.09. I definitely wouldn't pay that, but it would be worth trying with a $1 coupon.
