Chicken breast wrapped in bacon, baked in the oven
Description
Chicken rolls wrapped in bacon bake quickly. Chicken itself is a tender meat, especially broiler chicken. And since we're using ready-made bacon—smoked or dried—the cooking process will take very little of your time. In today's world of modern technology, traffic jams, and quick meals, this recipe will definitely come in handy.

Step 1
Cut the chicken fillet into flat, wide pieces so that they can hold the filling. If necessary, pound the chicken pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Take cottage cheese or cream cheese and spread it on each piece.

Step 2
Cut the red bell pepper into small cubes, removing the seeds, of course. Wash the herbs and chop them as well. Place the vegetables on each piece of chicken coated with cheese. Roll up each piece of chicken with the herbs and peppers into a roll.

Step 3
Then take the bacon and cut it into thin strips. It's better to buy pre-sliced bacon. Wrap each rolled chicken piece with bacon. To prevent the rolls from falling apart, choose a heat-resistant dish that fits their size, allowing them to be placed tightly together side by side. Grease the baking tray with vegetable oil and place the rolls inside. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

Step 4
During baking, you can flip the rolls once. If your oven has a grill function, use it 7 minutes before the dish is ready. This will give the bacon a nice, golden crust. These meat rolls can be served with any side dish.
