1 tsp pepper
2 4 oz cans whole green chiles (drained and each chile sliced in half)

8 slices thick cut bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large rimmed cookie sheet with aluminum foil and top with a wire baking rack. Set aside.

Roll each chicken breast into a bundle, wrap with a piece of bacon, and secure with a toothpick.
