Ingredients

6 slices bacon

1 cup shredded smoked fontina cheese

4 skinless

boneless chicken breasts

pounded 1/4-inch thick

toothpicks

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cook bacon in a large oven-proof skillet until crisp 5 to 7 minutes. Crumble bacon into a bowl; reserve drippings in skillet. Mix fontina cheese into bacon until combined.

Step 3

Lay chicken breasts on a flat surface; place 1/4 cup of bacon-cheese mixture on top of each. Roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks; sprinkle with black pepper. Arrange rolls in the skillet containing reserved bacon drippings.

Step 4

Brown chicken over medium heat until golden brown 5 to 7 minutes. Cover the skillet and transfer to the oven.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
