Bacon wrapped Chicken Fillet

My Mom and Aunt came for a visit and since my brother and hubby is around too, I have decided to make a nice simple dish for everyone.

This is a last minute plan so I want the meat to have flavours fast and create a dish that is yummy.

Ingredient :

• Chicken Thigh meat - bone removed
• Streaky Bacon
• Sharp Toothpicks
• Salt 
• Black Pepper
• Fresh Thymes
• Fresh Rosemary
• Olive Oil

Direction :

Chicken thigh - remove skin, fats and bones. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on to the meat.

With toothpick, wrap the bacon around the chicken meat. Use a toothpick and stick it into the chicken meat so that the bacon would not fall.

Olive oil on pan, pan sear both sides of the bacon wrapped meat for browning. Make sure the meat have slight brown char mark.

If you are doing more than 2 pieces, split it into a few batch so that you can control the pan sear and would not overcooked it. Leave the pan aside for further use.

Use a glass baking tray, line the fresh herbs into the glass tray. Add the pan seared meat and put another batch of fresh herbs on top. 

Heat up the oven in advance and send the meat for baking 180C for about  20-25 minutes.

To check whether the meat is fully cooked, use a fork or small knife, stick the fork into the meat. If it is fully cooked, clear water will flow out. 

Picture below are the lovely meat from baking.

 For sauce for the chicken, add some heavy cream into the same pan used early, add some salt and pepper to taste. Add some garlic powder if require for taste.

 You can have these with bread or with a simple fruity salad.
