Preparation

Step 1

Butterfly out your chicken breasts. Pop in a slice of mozzarella and big tsp of pesto in each. Fold the breast back over to seal.
Lay down 5 rashers of bacon (per breast)- make sure there are no gaps. Place the chicken at one end of the rashers and roll him up to create your wrapper.
Place in a baking dish, loose bits of the rashers facing downwards (this way they won’t unfurl).
Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400ºF.
Serve with pasta!
