BEA'S BACON WRAPPED FETA STUFFED CHICKEN WITH TOMATO BASIL SAUCE
Okay, I know I should of tried a shorter name for this one, but I just had to list everything in this recipe, lol. I came up with this when I was trying to use up a lot of what was in the refrigerator before we left for our summer vacation. I was quite pleased with the end result. The cook time may vary, depending on the size of the chicken breast.

BACON AND BASIL-WRAPPED CHICKEN BREASTS
From the July 1996 Gourmet magazine, these chicken breasts are really wonderful. This recipe calls for chicken breasts with the 'tenders', but I can rarely find them this way. I just stuff the chicken breasts with basil and wrap with bacon as described below. I have also tried these by stuffing them with some goat cheese too, that we liked a lot.
