Feta Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Chicken Breasts

This week’s weekend cooking is “Feta Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Chicken Breasts”. Beth and I both thought that the recipe was great. I just added an extra strip to each chicken breast. Beth asked me, “Why do you always have to add more bacon”? I must of gave her the crazy eye, because after she said that she took one step back. Never question a man about his pork belly.

    This sounds delicious. Alas, I can’t eat anything that I can’t gum right now because of all the teeth I’ve had pulled. I’m saving the recipe though for when I can!

    I really liked it. I am not a big fan of feta but it really added a lot of flavor to the chicken and smoky bacon.

    We will make this one again sometime.
