Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 375°F.

Butterfly the chicken breast pieces by cutting across the breast but not all the way through. Open the breasts up and pound lightly between parchment paper. Peel paper away and season the meat with salt and pepper.

Cover the seasoned chicken cutlets with blue cheese crumbles, mushrooms and scallions in equal amounts. Roll the chicken, wrap each roll with bacon and secure with toothpicks. Season the outside of the rolls with salt and pepper.

Heat the EVOO in skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken evenly all over, 5-6 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a small baking sheet, place in the oven and cook 10 minutes more.


Halve the chicken and stack to show off the center.
