No Boring Chicken Recipe

How to make it

---

• Preheat oven to 425 F
• Cook the bacon so that it on the crispy side. Drain on paper towels
• Sauté the shallots in the bacon fat until soft - remove and set aside (Don't clean the pan yet!)
• Chop or crumble up all the bacon
• In mixing bowl, toss the diced tomatoes, basil, shallots, bacon, and Parmesan cheese. Add in some garlic salt and set aside.
• Place chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound thin with the smooth side of a meat pounder. The thinner the better IMHO. If you want them really thin, horizontally slice the chicken breast first. Repeat for the rest of the breasts.
• Lay the chicken breast bone side up and place a few tablespoons of filling in the center. Rolled up the chicken breast and hold closed with toothpicks. Repeat. There will be a considerable amount of "filling" left over. We'll use that later.
• Season the roulades with salt (or garlic salt)
• Brown each side of the roulades in bacon fat (Yikes! You can omit this step and just let them cook in the oven)
• Place on cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
• Remove toothpicks and plate the roulades topping with the remaining filling.
• Serve with a side of your favorite tomato or Alfredo sauce.
