Boneless chicken breasts

Smoked bacon

Heat olive oil in a frying pan; sweat onion (cook for a few minutes), add garlic and remove from heat. Combine diced bacon, cheeses, basil, egg yolk, nutmeg and pepper.
Place chicken breasts on a board and slice ¾ open, like a book. Stuff with bacon mixture. Roll up each chicken breast with two slices of uncooked bacon around the outside.
Cook in the oven at 375˚F (190˚C) for about 40 minutes.
