Pesto Stuffed Chicken
1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts
4 ounces basil pesto
2 ounces bacon, cooked and chopped (You may also use turkey bacon)
1/2 cup Italian dressing
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F. Butterfly the chicken breasts. Evenly separate the pesto and bacon so there is enough for each chicken breast. Place the pesto and bacon in the middle of the chicken. Next fold the breast together so the pesto and bacon are covered. Place the chicken breasts into a large baking dish. Pour the Italian dressing evenly over the chicken breasts and add the seasonings. Bake the dish for 30 to 40 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
