Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken

Are you tired of a simple Chicken Kiev form of stuffing a chicken breast? Though to be fair, watching the garlic butter melt out of the chicken as you cut through it makes you realise why it is so good!! This dish provides a variation of ingredients to a stuffed chicken meal. Additionally bacon is used to wrap the chicken rather than breadcrumbs. The result is fantastic. The chicken is stuffed with a simple mixture of cheese, avocado and sour cream. Wrapped in bacon, it is then oven baked to produce a beautiful moist, juicy, tender chicken. The chicken is then finished off under the grill to crisp up the bacon and transform a simple chicken fillet into a special meal packed with flavour.
