Ted,
I have that kind of anchor set-up and still use a bridle if I am setting up for a long stay. It quiets the chain and provides some shock absorption capability.
I just drop one end of the bridle in the water ahead of the chain and then pick it up with a boat hook under the chain and attach the two ends at the forward bollards aft of the bow. The plate chain hook on the bridle grabs the chain easily using the two bridle lines.
Easy.
