Steps

1 hour

1

Wash chicken fillets then cover with cling wrap and pound with rolling pin to flatten slightly then remove cling and place chicken into a large baking pan.
2

Make marinate by combining; avo oil, garlic, coriander, mint, spring onion and pepperdews. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
3

Pour marinate over chicken pieces. Ensure that chicken is well coated on both sides with marinate.
4

Cover and leave in fridge over night or allow to stand for at least 3 hours.
5

Once marinated, spead a thin layer of pesto over each fillet. Then stuff and roll each one. This will make 6 servings.
6

To stuff; Place haloumi slice on one end of fillet then top with a jalapeno and then cheddar. Roll with stuffing on inside.
7

Once rolled, wrap chicken with a piece of bacon.
8

When ready, place about 1 teaspoon of garlic infused avocado oil and 1 teaspoon of olive oil into a pan and heat.
9

Sear prepared chicken on both sides to seal and brown slightly then place back into baking dish.

Bake on 140° Celcius for about 10 - 15 minutes. Chicken should be cooked through but not dry.
