1/4 tsp. pepper
2 small-medium tomatoes, sliced
8 fresh basil leaves

Directions
Place bacon in an ungreased baking pan. Bake at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, until bacon is partially cooked but not crisp. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
Place chicken in an ungreased baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Top with tomatoes, basil and garlic. Wrap chicken with three slices each of bacon.
