Pesto and mozzarella stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon

Tonight was a great dinner! I started off scrolling through the forum having an idea I wanted to do stuffed chicken. I found a few different ones that caught the eye. I decided to go with the pesto and mozzarella stuffed chicken wrapped in center cut bacon. I first placed the organic boneless skinless chicken on a cutting board and put Saran Wrap over it to pound it thin. I then put some traditional basil pesto on the chicken accompanied by some fresh mozzarella. I then wrapped the chicken up with center cut bacon and placed on the egg. I cooked at 300-350 direct. I will probably pull the chicken off a little earlier next time but it still turned out good. I served the chicken over brown rice with sweet and spicy fresh asparagus. When I had everything plated I poured the sweet and spicy juice from the asapargus over the dish. Added a ton more life to the brown rice. Look forward to doing this again for some friends.

I'm stuck in a hotel tonight. ..thanks alot. I've learned the hard way. .check the chicken temp and not the center. Thin bacon seems to do better for me when wrapping.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN
