Wow, wow, wow!
We are having a seriiiiious heat wave right now. It really is so hot!
Last night after a day on my feet (covering about 9 miles), and then a gym session, I just really couldn't be bothered with standing in a hot kitchen and cooking!
The boyfriend was still building our new A-MA-ZING BBQ (to be featured soon)... so I opted for a super simple dish, that was to his taste rather than mine.
I'm not usually the biggest fan of Pesto, and I opted to have no cheese, and yet it honestly turned out to be one of my favourite things I've made in a while!
It was so easy to cook & it worked so well with a simple salad, ate outside with a load of cucumber infused water! 👌
I hope you all enjoy this one!
INGREDIENTS:
•Chicken Breasts (large- then one per person)
•Smokey Bacon
•Pesto
•Olive Oil
•Salt, Pepper, Smoked Paprika & Chilli Flakes
RECIPE:
•From the top of your Chicken Breast cut down & form a pocket (ensuring not to pierce through the sides or the bottom- your just want an entry for the Pesto, and for it all to stay contained in the Chicken)
•Use a tablespoon to stuff the Chicken with Pesto
•Pre heat a little oil in a baking tray in the oven
•Heat oil in a frying pan
•Wrap Bacon around the Breast pieces (2 is perfect, or 3 for a larger size)
•Add some Salt, Pepper, Smoked Paprika & a few Chilli Flakes to the frying pan oil
•Place the Breasts into the hot Oil & cook for 3 minutes each side
•(Place underside down first, to get the ends of the Bacon to fry & knit together)
•Transfer the Oil carefully into your pre heated baking tray
•Add your Chicken top side up
•Cook for 18 minutes on 200c
•(Always check it is cooked thoroughly on the thickest piece!)
•Serve & ENJOY 😬😘
