Source of Recipe
George Stella
List of Ingredients
8 pieces bacon, par-cooked half-way (may use precooked)
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into halves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove fresh garlic, minced
2 tablespoons red onion, chopped
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
1 bunch fresh thyme
Recipe
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
To par-cook bacon, lay slices on a sheet pan and bake in a preheated 400
degree F oven for about 10 minutes until
half-cooked. Remove and reserve.
Working on a sheet pan, coat the chicken breast with olive oil and
minced garlic. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Next, wrap 2 pieces of par-cooked bacon strips criss-cross around each
piece of chicken, forming an "x" pattern in the
center. Sprinkle with the diced onion and place a thick slice of Roma
tomato and a couple sprigs of fresh thyme in the
center of each breast, tucked in behind the bacon.
Arrange chicken a little apart from each other on the sheet pan and bake
until the chicken is completely cooked and
reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 30 minutes.
