CHEESE-STUFFED CHICKEN WITH
BACON
 
2 (1 oz.) sticks string cheese
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 lbs.)
1/2 tsp. sage
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
4 strips bacon

Heat oven to 500 degrees. Cut cheese sticks in half crosswise. Pound the chicken lightly to an even thickness. Sprinkle the rough side of each breast with the sage, salt and pepper. Roll each, seasonings inside, around a cheese stick, tucking in the ends so the cheese won't leak out and secure with toothpicks. Wrap in a strip of bacon and put in roasting pan. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is browned, about 15 minutes.
