3390. GRILLED BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN with SUN GOLD CHERRY TOMATO SAUCE and AVOCADO

makes four servings


2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded to ½ inch thick
4 slices of thick applewood bacon
1 pint of sun gold cherry tomatoes, each sliced in half
1 garlic clove, minced
1 avocado, thinly sliced
extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh basil, torn
salt
pepper

Preheat the grill to medium low heat.

Drizzle a little oil over each chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper. Gently and loosely wrap each breast with 1 slice of bacon. Place the chicken on the grill and let cook for approximately 10 minutes per side or until the chicken is opaque and the bacon is crispy.

While the chicken is cooking, add 1 tablespoon of oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Toss in tomatoes and slowly cook them until they have broken down and released their juices. Season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, stir in basil.

Plate chicken. Pour sauce over top and garnish with avocado.
