Ingredients
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 4 oz mozzarella or chedder cheese, grated
  • basil pesto
  • Slices of raw streaky bacon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350*F/180*C/Gas mark 4. Spray a large enough oven dish with cooking oil and line with parchment paper.
  2. Butterfly your chicken breasts by cutting through the side, not all the way through.
  3. Spread a generous layer of pesto over each breast and top with the cheese.
  4. Use 4 slices of Bacon per Chicken Fillet by wrapping each piece around the Chicken until it is completely wrapped - use toothpicks to keep the Bacon securely in place.
  5. Place the Bacon wrapped filled Chicken on the prepared baking dish, bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until done.
  6. If the Bacon is not as crispy as you like, switch the oven's top element on and grill the Chicken to your preference.
  7. Serve with fries, roasted vegetables, salad, mashed potato or rice.
