Caprese Chicken with Bacon

This is something I plan to make in a few weeks when I have fresh tomatoes and basil from my garden. I am sure it will become a summer staple.

8 bacon strips
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 plum tomatoes
6 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
4 slices mozzarella cheese

Place bacon in an ungreased jelly roll pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until partially cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain.

Place chicken in an ungreased 13X9inch baking pan; brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with tomatoes and basil. Wrap each in two bacon strips, arranging bacon in a criss cross.

Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees. Top with cheese, bake 1 minute longer or until melted.
