4 skinless, boneless chicken breast; cut horizontally like a book (do not cut all the way through)

1 tablespoon butter
1 or 2 bunches fresh basil, about 30 leaves
salt and pepper
kitchen twine
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. On a work surface, place chicken cut side up. Top with 2 slices of provolone cheese then basil leaves. Roll the chicken and wrap with 2 pieces of bacon. Secure nicely with a twine. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a cast iron pan or an ovenproof pan to medium heat. Add the butter then sear the chicken on all sides until light brown. Transfer the chicken into the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until temperature reaches 165 degrees. Let stand for few minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
