Chicken with Bacon, Tomato, and Thyme

Ingredients


4 slices bacon, cooked
2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp chopped red onion
2-1/4 inch sliced tomato

Directions

Place bacon slices on a sheet pan and bake in a preheated 400*F oven for about 10 minutes until half cooked.
Remove and reserve.
Working on a sheet pan, coat the chicken breast with olive oil and garlic.
Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Next, wrap 2 pieces of bacon strips criss cross around each piece of chicken forming an "X' pattern in the center. Sprinkle with the diced onion and place a thick slice of tomato and a couple sprigs of fresh thyme in the center of each breast, tucked under the bacon.
Bake until chicken is completely cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165*F, about 30 minutes.

Number of Servings: 2
