Instructions
-
TO START
Preheat oven to 170°C fan forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
-
PREPARE THE CHICKEN
Use a small sharp knife to cut 5-6 slits cross ways into each chicken breast about 2 cm apart, being careful to not cut all the way through. Place the chicken, cut-side up, on tray.
-
LOAD THE CHICKEN
Tear the bacon into large pieces. Place a piece of bacon into each slit. Spread small dollops of Pesto into each slit. Add a piece of tomato to each slit and add the bocconcini to every second or third slit. Scatter the top of the chicken with cheese and season. Spray with olive oil.
-
BAKE AND SERVE
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden, and the chicken is cooked through. Serve with steamed greens.
