Chicken stuffed with Mozzarella and Pesto, Wrapped in Streaky Bacon

Preheat the oven to 200C/175C with fan

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!).

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.

Repeat with the following three chicken breasts.

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.

Serve with the veg and carb of your choice!

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!
