Bacon Wrapped Pesto Chicken

Ingredients

6 skinless

boneless chicken breast halves - pounded flat

salt and ground black pepper to taste

6 tablespoons prepared basil pesto

6 slices bacon

½ cup vegetable oil

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Lay a chicken breast out flat and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Spread pesto sauce over the chicken breast and roll the chicken breast in a slice of bacon securing the roll with toothpicks. Lay the rolled chicken breast into a 9x9-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts. Pour the vegetable oil over the chicken breasts.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the bacon is crisp about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a roll should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
