After a day at work I was shuffling though the fridge trying to figure out what I was going to have for supper and so I created this.

2 organic chicken breast (skinless,boneless)

4 strips of bacon

5 kale leaves (wash and remove from veins)

1 tsp fresh thyme (minced)

1 tsp fresh rosemary (minced)

3 cloves of garlic (minced)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375, Slice chicken in half (not all the way to the egde) and unfold (like they do with the bread at subway, lol).  Mix kale, herbs, garlic and pepper  in a bowl and spread evenly on both chicken breast.  Roll chicken breast from the bigger side all the way down to the tip.  Wrap two slices of bacon around and secure with a toothpick. bake for 30-40 mins.

Enjoy!
