Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

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

Steps:

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