I have found so many good recipes here on the board, I wanted to share one of my favorites.

Cheese Stuffed Chicken w/ Bacon

2 1-oz sticks string cheese
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
(about 1 ¼ lbs.)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
4 strips of turkey bacon

Heat oven to 500 degrees. Cut the cheese sticks in half crosswise. Pound the chicken breast lightly to an even thickness. Sprinkle the rough side of each breast with the sage, salt and pepper. Roll each, seasoning 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 a roasting pan. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is browned, about 15 minutes.
