Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts (about 10 ounces total)
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
2 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, sliced thin
10 slices center cut bacon

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Using a sharp knife, carefully butterfly chicken. Cut through the center but not all the way through, opening the chicken like a book. Sprinkle inside and outside of chicken with black pepper, salt if desired

    Step 2

    Open chicken up and add cheddar and avocado slices. Fold chicken over cheddar and avocado, set aside. Repeat with the other chicken breast.

    Step 3

    On cutting board, spread 5 out bacon slices so that they are touching. Lay chicken on top of bacon slices and wrap them around, overlapping as needed. Repeat with other chicken breast.

    Step 4

    Grill over medium indirect heat with the cover down for 20-30 minutes, carefully flipping at least once, or until bacon is crispy and chicken is cooked through or measures 165 degrees Fahrenheit with an instant-read meat thermometer. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
