Bacon-Wrapped Caprese Chicken Breasts

Thinly sliced chicken breasts and bacon were on sale, so I bought them. We also had mozzarella and basil we needed to use up.
Seasoned breasts with S&P and some herbs. Laid bacon down flat, then chicken breast, then sliced tomato, mozzarella, and fresh basil. Rolled them up and secured with toothpick. Put on egg at 400 with some light smoke, raised direct. Cooked until done as determined by Thermapen and Meathead's magnet.
They were very good. Meat stayed very moist and tender. Now we just want to figure a way to make bacon even crispier without melting all the cheese out. I would recommend everyone stuff something in a piece of chicken after wrapping it in bacon.

I know I heard of people pre cooking the bacon a bit so it would be crispy when everything else is done.

Very nice... That makes a real good meal when company comes over.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

Looks great. Maybe "par - bake" the bacon in the oven for half the time it takes to fully cook.375 for 8-10 minutes.
-
Try microwaving the bacon for a bit.

Good deal, first I've seen of this one. Chicken breast could always use some help to change it up.Seattle, WA

Lol, ok now they are. Yeah we just got a microwave, so will have to try that next time. Maybe I can even do thick bacon with that trick
