Ingredients:

  • 1 bunches Kale
  • 0.50 Avocado
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 4 tsp Sea Salt divided
  • 8 tbsp Olive Oil plus additional for baking sheet
  • 2 Pear peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1.25 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts butterflied
  • 1.25 tsp Prepared Horseradish divided, or to taste
  • 0.75 lb Bacon

Instructions:

  • In a food processor or high speed blender, combine kale, avocado, garlic, apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp sea salt, and olive oil. Blend until desired consistency to make an avocado pesto. Set aside.
  • Peel and cut pears into 1/4-inch slices. Set aside.
  • With a sharp knife, make a lengthwise cut from the thickest side of the breast to within a 1/2-inch on the opposite side. Open breast for it to lie flat, similar to a book. Cover with plastic wrap and use the flat side of a meat mallet to flatten to desired thickness. Discard plastic wrap and continue until each breast is butterflied. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
  • Evenly spread 1 tbsp pesto on one side of the butterflied breast. Evenly spread 1/4 tsp horseradish (or to taste) on the other side butterflied breast.
  • Arrange 3 to 4 pear slices on the pesto side of the breast.
  • Fold over the horseradish side of the breast, closing like a book. Season with salt.
  • Wrap breast with 2 to 3 bacon slices in a diagonal, overlapping pattern. Place bacon wrapped breast on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Set the oven to broil and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes or until bacon is crispy.
  • Remove from oven and serve with your favorite side dish.
