Sous vide bacon wrapped chicken filled with garlic and cheese

Anne made Cheese stuffed pancetta chicken breasts for me last year and I tried a sous vide version , Sous vide prosciutto wrapped chicken stuffed with garlicky parsley butter which was a bit of a failure.

This is a bacon version and was a fabulous success.

Once the chicken has been cooked surrounded by the bacon, the bacon clings tightly to the chicken allowing it to be finished by pan frying.

Take care to choose 2 equal sized chicken breasts if you are buying them pre-packaged. Mine were obscured by the label, resulting in one huge piece and one rather small.

• 2 chicken breasts of equal size
• 8 rashers of smoked streaky bacon - fatty bacon is the trick to keeping the chicken moist.

• A pinch of mixed herbs
• Pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
