How to make Bacon Wrapped Cheesy Chicken with Roasted Vegetables:
- Chop up whatever vegetables you’re using (if any) into bite-sized pieces. We used sweet potato, red onion, red pepper and mushrooms.
- Add to a big baking dish and drizzle with oil. Season well with salt, pepper and optionally dried mixed herbs or a little paprika and/or garlic powder and mix.
- With a knife, slice into the chicken breast and open up a pouch.
- Stuff in the grated cheese or cream cheese.
- Season the chicken breast well with pepper and a little salt (the bacon and cheese are already very salty).
- Wrap the slices of bacon around the chicken, tucking the ends underneath.
- Add to the baking tray with the vegetables and cook in the oven on a 180 degree heat for around 30 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly done.
- Serve!
