BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN

Bacon-wrapped chicken can be served as a main course alongside a variety of side dishes. It pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. This dish is popular for its simplicity and crowd-pleasing appeal.

Recipe Notes:

• I used basil and dried tomatoes spreadable cheese. You could use any other types of herbed spreadable cheese that you prefer.

• If you wish to omit the bacon, you could make a slit through the center of the chicken breast to form a pocket and then stuff the basil leaves and spreadable cheese into it instead.

• Bake the bacon wrapped chicken for 30 to 35 minutes or until the bacon looks crisp/golden and the chicken cooked through. The chicken breast is usually cooked if the juices from the chicken run clear when the meat is pierced with the tip of a knife. Cooking time will vary depending on the quantity and thickness of the chicken breast.

• I used a fan-forced oven set to 180 degree Celsius to bake the bacon wrapped chicken. If you have a conventional oven, the temperature would be 200 degree Celsius.
