Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breast Stuffed with Avocado and Cheddar image

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 chicken breasts (about 10 ounces total)
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
2 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, sliced thin
10 slices center cut bacon

Steps:

Using a sharp knife, carefully butterfly chicken. Cut through the center but not all the way through, opening the chicken like a book. Sprinkle inside and outside of chicken with black pepper, salt if desired
Open chicken up and add cheddar and avocado slices. Fold chicken over cheddar and avocado, set aside. Repeat with the other chicken breast.
On cutting board, spread 5 out bacon slices so that they are touching. Lay chicken on top of bacon slices and wrap them around, overlapping as needed. Repeat with other chicken breast.
Grill over medium indirect heat with the cover down for 20-30 minutes, carefully flipping at least once, or until bacon is crispy and chicken is cooked through or measures 165 degrees Fahrenheit with an instant-read meat thermometer. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
