BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN BREAST STUFFED WITH AVOCADO AND CHEDDAR

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.

STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST WRAPPED IN SAGE AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Cut a deep slit along one side of each chicken breast, without slicing right through, then open it out like a book. On a clean cutting board, mince 4 sage leaves, ten mix into the ricotta and season with salt and pepper to taste. Lay two prosciutto slices on the board, overlapping them slightly. Put a sage leaf in the middle and lay an open chicken breast on top. Spoon a quarter of the ricotta mixture onto the middle of the chicken, then fold the sides together again, to enclose the filling. Now wrap the prosciutto slices around the stuffed chicken breast. Wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat with the rest of the chicken breasts and chill for 1-2 hours to firm up slightly. Heat the oven to 350 and place a roasting pan in the over to heat up. Heat a heavy skillet and add the olive oil. When hot, pan-fry the prosciutto-wrapped chicken, in batches if necessary, for 2 minutes on each side until browned. Lay a few thyme sprigs on each chicken breast, then place in the hot roasting pan. Cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on size, or until the meat feels just firm when lightly pressed. Rest the chicken covered with foil, in a warm place for 5-10 minutes. Slice each stuffed breast thickly on the diagonal and arrange on warm plates. Serve with steamed greens if desired.
