STUFFED CHICKEN WITH CANADIAN BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line bottom of a glass pan with olive oil and set aside at least 10 – 15 toothpicks near your workstation.
• Mix seasoning ingredients in a shallow pan, with enough room to lay one chicken breast down in it.
• Add as much as you want of each seasoning per your taste, I used a couple of shakes for each ingredient and a little extra of the cheeses.
• Mix all stuffing ingredients together in a bowl.
• Lay one chicken breast in the shallow seasoning dish to coat the outside, and then in the center of the chicken breast add a line of the stuffing mixture.
• Roll and seal by sticking a toothpick on the top of each end to close.
• Once all the chicken breasts are stuffed and in the glass dish, you will have left over stuffing, place the leftover stuffing on top of each chicken breast on the lip of the “seal”.
• Bake in oven for 30 minutes, check to see if done, depending on oven you may need another 15 minute.
