Bacon Wrapped Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken with Balsamic Drizzle and Basil
From: Kevin Lynch @ www.closetcooking.com/
I am such a huge fan of bacon and my new found favorite way to enjoy it in grilling season is wrapped around chicken and grilled to perfection! When you cook chicken breasts wrapped in bacon the bacon helps keep the chicken nice and moist and the bacon gets so nice and amazingly crispy! Yum! This bacon wrapped roasted red pepper and goat cheese stuffed chicken with balsamic drizzle and basil includes some of my favorite flavor combinations! You really can't go wrong with this grilled bacon wrapped roasted red pepper and goat cheese stuffed chicken with balsamic drizzle and basil for this summers grilling season!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
FOR THE CHICKEN:
4 (6 ounce) chicken breasts, butterflied or pounded thin
salt and pepper to taste
4 ounces goat cheese
1 roasted red pepper, diced
2 tablespoons basil, chopped
2 teaspoons lemon zest
8 slices bacon
FOR THE BALSAMIC DRIZZLE:
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Directions:
FOR THE CHICKEN:
Lay the chicken flat, season the outside with salt and pepper.
Spread 1/4 of the mixture of the goat cheese, roasted red peppers, basil and lemon zest on the chicken breasts.
Roll them up and wrap each in 2 slices of bacon.
Grill over indirect medium heat, with the lid down, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked (160F to 165F).
About 20-30 minutes.
Or bake in a preheated 400F/200C oven on a wire rack on a baking pan until cooked, about 20-30 minutes, turning the oven to broil for the last few minutes to ensure that the bacon is crispy.
FOR THE BALSAMIC DRIZZLE:
Bring the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until it has reduced by half and thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
Option: Replace the salt and pepper with your favorite seasoning blend such as creole seasoning or taco seasoning.
