Cheddar-Bacon Chicken Breasts

This is one of my favorite recipes, it's so quick and easy but still tastes amazing :)

Ingredients:

1 pack skinless chicken breasts
2/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/3 cup feta cheese
1 packet bacon
4 whole tomatoes
garlic cloves
salt & pepper
olive oil
mixed herbs

Directions:

1. Slice open the chicken breasts far enough to stuff cheese inside but don't slice the entire way through

2. Mash together the grated cheddar cheese and the feta, until it becomes like a cheese paste
3. Open the top flap of the chicken breasts and spoon some of the cheese paste inside the chicken, close the flap and wrap 1 or 2 pieces of bacon around the breast, depending on the sizes of your bacon pieces. The chicken just needs to be securely closed.
4. Grease a glass oven dish with olive oil and lay the bacon wrapped chicken breasts close together to ensure the bacon doesn't come undone.
5. Cut the tomatoes into 4 pieces each and stick the peeled garlic cloves into the tomatoes.
6. Lay the tomatoes among the chicken breasts and season with salt, pepper and mixed herbs.

7. Cook at 180*C for about a half hour or until chicken is springy to touch.
8. Serve with mashed potatoes or oven baked chips and fresh peas and green beans...Enjoy!
