1. Trim excess fat from the bacon and chicken fillets. Place each fillet between two strips of plastic wrap and roll with a rolling pin to flatten and thin the meat evenly.

4. Roll each of the four chicken pieces tightly into a roll, but not so tightly that the tomato paste is squeezed out. Cut each roll into three pieces. Use a sharp knife to avoid crushing the chicken. Place each piece on its side and thread onto a skewer. Each skewer should have three pieces of chicken roll.
