Stuffed Chicken with bacon

Method

• step 1

  With a sharp knife cut a slit about 4-5cm across the chicken, but dont cut all the way through the chicken, only go half way down. Do this in both chicken pieces.

• step 2

  Take 2 tsp of the pesto and open the slit and spoon it in. Use 2 tsp in each chicken breast. If using cheese do exactly the same but carefully stuffing the chicken with the cheese.

• step 3

  Then take one of the rashes of bacon and wrap it around the chicken, where the incision is, making sure the ends of the bacon end up underneath the chicken.

• step 4

  Using a cocktail stick pierce through the bacon and chicken to hold it all togther. (the filling may ooze out a little bit depending on how much you've stuffed the chicken with) Do this with the other chicken breast.

• step 5

  Then put on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 20 minutes on 180-200 degrees (fan oven/electric)

• step 6

  Take out and serve with any veg, mash potato or spicy cabbage.
