Hello friends!

This is a simple and super yummy recipe for anyone who loves them some bacon. It takes just minutes to throw together, and pop in the oven - giving you time to enjoy a summer cocktail on the porch. Another reason I love it is that it's super versatile! You can swap out the asparagus for peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, spinach or any of your favorite veggies making this dish a guaranteed repeat in any kitchen.

INGREDIENTS

one chicken breast per person

4-6 strips of organic, thick cut bacon per person

one stalk of asparagus, ends trimmed

olive oil

salt, pepper

optional: cheese

RECIPE

Preheat oven to 350
Par cook your chicken breasts, then very carefully slice them in half, leaving them connected on one side so they open like a book
Lightly oil, salt and pepper the inside of the breast
Place 3-4 stalks of asparagus on one side of the chicken
Optional: add a slice of your favorite cheese over the asparagus
For this, I love a creamy white cheese
Now fold the chicken over so the breast is closed
Lightly oil, salt and pepper the outside
Now, wrap the breast with 4-6 slices of bacon
Place each wrapped breast onto a lightly oiled baking sheet
Cook for 25 minutes
In the meantime, toss the rest of your asparagus with olive oil, salt and pepper
At the 25 minute mark, add your remaining asparagus to the pan with the chicken to roast
Cook an additional 15 minutes or until the bacon is full colored and the veggies are done
Enjoy!
