Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 8 pieces Bacon strips
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pound each chicken breast to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Lay two strips of bacon side by side on a clean surface, slightly overlapping. Place one chicken breast on top, then roll tightly, securing with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat for all pieces.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear each chicken bacon roll for 2-3 minutes per side until the bacon is crispy.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet with the chicken rolls to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Step 7

While the chicken is baking, prepare the creamy basil sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

Step 8

Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 9

Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 10

Stir in Parmesan cheese and chopped basil. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually add to the sauce, stirring constantly, until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 12

Once the chicken is done baking, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 13

Serve the chicken rolls drizzled with the creamy basil sauce, and garnish with extra chopped basil if desired.
