Step 1

Place bacon in an ungreased 15 x 10 inch baking pan. Bake at 400 for 8 - 10 minutes or until partially cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain.

Place chicken in an ungreased 9 x 13 baking pan; brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with tomatoes and basil. Wrap each in two bacon strips, arranging bacon in a crisscross.

Bake, uncovered, at 400 for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170 degrees. Top with cheese; bake 1 minute longer or until melted.
