Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly spritz bottom and sides of a medium baking pan with olive oil spray.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice into the side of each chicken breast to form a pocket but do not slice all the way through. Season the insides and outsides with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine diced avocado and the bacon. Divide the mixture in half and stuff each chicken breast. Use toothpicks to secure the pockets and place into baking pan.
- Mix together panko, mozzarella cheese, and olive oil in a small bowl. Brush 1 tablespoon pesto on top of each breast. Cover each breast with the panko mixture, pressing into the pesto so mixture adheres.
- Roast in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
