The ingredients needed to make Chicken stuffed with Mozzarella and Pesto, Wrapped in Streaky Bacon:
  1. Make ready 4 chicken breasts
  2. Take 180 g classic basil pesto
  3. Make ready 1 ball mozzarella
  4. Take 8 slices streaky bacon
  5. Take to taste Salt and pepper

Steps Arrange the bacon slices in groups of two, forming a cross shape. Top with the chicken breast and season with salt and pepper. Spread the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese on top of chicken. If using cheese do exactly the same but carefully stuffing the chicken with the cheese.

Steps to make Chicken stuffed with Mozzarella and Pesto, Wrapped in Streaky Bacon:
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/175C with fan
  2. Lay the chicken breast flat on a cutting board. Carefully, having the knife facing away from you, slice open the chicken breast, but be careful not to cut through the other side! Spread a generous amount of pesto on the chicken breast, followed up 2-3 slices of mozzarella (don't be stingy here, really load them up!).
  3. Close the chicken breast around the filling, and wrap 2 pieces of streaky bacon tightly around the chicken, tucking the ends of the bacon into itself.
  4. Repeat with the following three chicken breasts.
  5. Place the chicken onto a cookie sheet wrapped in tin foil. Sprinkle them lightly with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
  6. Serve with the veg and carb of your choice!
  7. NOTE: In hindsight, I would put the chicken breasts in a pan first, searing the bacon about 3 minutes each side. Then I would transfer them onto a cookie sheet, and cook them in the oven!

With a small spoon spread a generous about of the pesto into each chicken pocket. Place the mozzarella into the chicken pocket, then add more pesto if desired. Spread pesto sauce over the chicken breast, and roll the chicken breast in a slice of bacon, securing the roll with toothpicks. Mix together the mozzarella, pesto and sundried tomatoes. Cut a slit into the side of each chicken breast and then stuff with the pesto-covered cheese.
