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.

    Very good! If you turn the temperature of oven down to 325 and bake for 45 mins. chicken will stay jucier - 7/18/09

    Very much like my own recipe, except I brine the chicken breasts overnight in salt/sugar/wine/water to cover. This prevents the chicken from drying out. If I have some thin asparagus spears, I will wrap them up in there too! - 2/2/09

    Me and my husband enjoyed this dish. I covered it with foil half-way through cooking in order to retain some moisture in the chicken. I will be making this again! - 1/29/09

    This recipe was pretty easy & that is what I look for...tasty & easy. I replace thyme with cilantro for zest. I made a salsa mix from the tomatoe, onion & cilantro by placing in my food processor. It turned out pretty good. - 7/9/08
