Author: Courtney O'Dell

Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken Breasts
  • 2 slices extra sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 sweet red or orange pepper
  • 4 pieces bacon

Instructions

  • Carefully cut open chicken breasts with a long thin knife. You'll want to butterfly them, but be careful to not cut yourself or pull the knife up or down to get an uneven cut.
  • Season inside with salt and pepper.
  • Cut cheddar slices in half so you can lay them inside chicken and not overhang.
  • Cut pepper into long strips that lay flat.
  • Lay into chicken, fold chicken back up.
  • Carefully wrap chicken with bacon.
  • If you are having a hard time, you can use a toothpick to keep the chicken closed and the bacon from sliding off- but that is totally optional.
  • Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, check chicken's internal temp.
  • When chicken is cooked thoroughly, set to broil and crisp bacon under broiler for about 2 minutes.
  • Serve with veggies and a salad, rice or other side dish and enjoy!
