Description
This recipe is a great twist to everyday chicken. I was bored one afternoon and came up with this idea for dinner! This recipe can be reduced in fat by omitting the cheese and bacon.
Ingredients
- 4 (6 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ (12 ounce) bottle garlic and herb marinade
- 16 fresh basil leaves
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 12 slices bacon
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle
- being careful not to cut through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book. Place chicken and marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Squeeze out excess air
- seal the bag
- and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
- Lay opened chicken breasts on a broiler pan. Place 4 basil leaves on one half of each chicken breast. Top each with 2 to 3 tomato slices and 1 cheese slice
- then fold chicken together to enclose filling. Fasten with toothpicks if needed. Wrap 3 bacon slices around each chicken breast.
- Cook in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn chicken and cook for 15 minutes more. Remove from the oven
- sprinkle chicken with Parmesan
- and continue cooking until cheese is melted
- 2 to 3 minutes.
