Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place bacon slices in a microwave-safe dish lined with paper towels. Microwave on HIGH for 4-5 minutes until crisp. Drain fat, reserving 2 tablespoons.
  2. In the reserved bacon fat, combine chopped mushrooms and 1 tablespoon of snipped chives. Microwave covered for 45-60 seconds until tender.
  3. Stir the cooked bacon, 1/4 cup toasted chopped almonds, and crushed thyme into the mushroom mixture to create the filling.
  4. Skin and bone the chicken breast, then cut it lengthwise into two even pieces.
  5. Place each chicken piece between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet until about 1/8 inch thick.
  6. Season one side of each chicken breast half with salt and pepper.
  7. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the seasoned side of each chicken piece. Roll up tightly like a jelly roll.
  8. Place rolls seam-side down in a microwave-safe pie plate. Microwave uncovered on HIGH for 3-5 minutes, turning halfway through, until chicken is cooked through.
  9. Serve immediately with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, garnished with sliced almonds and remaining chives.
