Ingredients
  • 8 Chicken Breasts
  • 3 Large tomatoes (or 6-8 Roma Tomatos) - Seeded and diced
  • 1/3 cup of diced shallots
  • 1 pound of bacon (cooked on the crispy side)
  • 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Handful of fresh basil leaves (chopped)
  • Garlic Salt(to taste)

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 F
  2. Cook the bacon so that it on the crispy side. Drain on paper towels
  3. Sauté the shallots in the bacon fat until soft - remove and set aside (Don't clean the pan yet!)
  4. Chop or crumble up all the bacon
  5. In mixing bowl, toss the diced tomatoes, basil, shallots, bacon, and Parmesan cheese. Add in some garlic salt and set aside.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Season the roulades with salt (or garlic salt)
  9. Brown each side of the roulades in bacon fat (Yikes! You can omit this step and just let them cook in the oven)
  10. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  11. Remove toothpicks and plate the roulades topping with the remaining filling.
  12. Serve with a side of your favorite tomato or Alfredo sauce.
