1 x slice fresh bread, crusts removed and finely diced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
4 x boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 x slices smoked streaky bacon rashers, or 4 cut in half lengthwise
To Serve
Rocket and pear salad
Directions
Preheat oven to 200°C (180° C fan forced) Or air fryer to 180°C. Lightly grease or line a baking tray.
Place all ingredients excluding the chicken and bacon in a medium bowl. Mix well until combined.
Cut a slit into the thickest side of each chicken breast, then divide stuffing mixture between the four chicken fillets.
Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 2 bacon rashers - not too tightly, but enough to hold the chicken together. Season, place on a baking tray and roast for 20-25 minutes. OR air fry for 15 – 20 minutes. Rest for 5 minutes. Serve either whole or sliced with a rocket and pear salad.
Recipe Tip
If you want to use less bacon, stretch out four rashers using the back of a knife to make each one longer and thinner. Wrap just one around each chicken breast as before.
