Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1 slice applewood-smoked turkey bacon
    3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    2 tablespoons minced green onions
    2 tablespoons diced pimientos
    1 tablespoon canola mayonnaise
    2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
    4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.
Cook bacon in a large ovenproof skillet until crisp. Remove bacon, reserving drippings in pan; crumble bacon. Combine bacon, next 6 ingredients, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut a 1-inch-wide slit into the thick end of each breast half; carefully cut down to the center of chicken to form a deep pocket. Divide cheese mixture evenly among pockets. Secure with wooden picks. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Heat pan over medium-high heat. Add oil to drippings. Add chicken to pan; saute 4 minutes. Turn chicken over. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes; let stand for 5 minutes

    Incredible!
    The flavor was excellent. However, be sure you're using "fatter" breast halves as it's VERY difficult to cut a pocket in the thinner halves without the meat separating on the bottom of the breast. - 6/29/16
