Chicken

  • chicken marinade
  • 2 lbs. chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 6-8 slices bacon
  • 6-8 slices Gruyere cheese thinly sliced

Italian Salsa

  • 6 Roma tomatoes chopped
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil

  • 1/4 cup white onion chopped
  • 6 fresh basil leaves chopped

Instructions
 

  • First, mix up the marinade, place the chicken breasts in it, and set it in the fridge. Chicken should marinate for at least 2 hours; overnight is better.

  • Take the chicken out of the fridge about an hour before you want to eat. Wrap 1 – 2 slices of bacon around each piece (depending on size).
  • Fry chicken in a medium pan until the bacon is mostly cooked, about 5 – 8 minutes per side (no need to add oil; the bacon will create the grease needed).
  • Place all chicken in a baking pan and top with Gruyere cheese.

  • To serve, top with Italian salsa or place salsa on the side.
