Broccoli-Cheddar Chicken Bundles

This is a new find for us - we've made it a few times now and really like it. Also, it's much easier to make than I thought it would be to make stuffed chicken.8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (1 lb.)
1 cup frozen broccoli florets, thawed, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 slices bacon, cooked, crumbled
1 pouch SHAKE 'N BAKE Extra Crispy Seasoned Coating Mix

PREHEAT oven to 400ºF. Place chicken thighs, smooth-sides down, on cutting board. Flatten slightly by pounding with meat mallet to 1/2-inch thickness. Top evenly with broccoli; sprinkle with cheese and bacon.
ROLL up each chicken thigh tightly, starting at one of the short ends; secure with wooden toothpicks. Place coating mix in shallow bowl. Roll each chicken bundle in coating mix until evenly coated on all sides. Place, seam-sides down in single layer in foil-lined shallow baking pan.
BAKE 25 to 30 min. or until chicken is cooked through (170ºF). Remove and discard toothpicks before serving.
