    Lightly coat chicken breast with olive oil. Stuff the mixture in the breast and fold over to close. Wrap two slices of bacon around each breast. Season.

  4. 4

    Roast in oven at 350° for approximately 30 minutes or until thermometer reaches 165° and chicken/bacon are nicely crisp and caramelized.

  5. 5

    After a half hour, check the doneness of the chicken. Place chicken under broiler for a few minutes to crisp the bacon if the chicken is nearly cooked to avoid drying out the chicken.

I wonder if this would work breaded. Like bread the chicken fry it up a little to get it crisp then wrap the bacon and put it in the oven
