Preheat oven to 350° Place a cooling rack on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle a little S&P on each side of the chicken breasts. Over Medium-High, heat pan-sear the chicken in 1 Tbs. olive oil and 1 Tbs. butter. Brown on both sides - About 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside (Chicken will not be fully cooked at this stage)
Finely chop the mushrooms and saute over medium heat with garlic, and remaining butter and olive oil. About 10 minutes
In a large mixing bowl combine the cooked mushrooms, ricotta, parmesan, thyme, and chopped parsley.
Cut slits in the chicken lengthwise down one side and ¾ of the way through the chicken. This will create a pocket to stuff the chicken breasts.
Stuff each breast with ¼ of the mushroom ricotta mixture.
Wrap each breast with 2 slices of bacon
Bake the Chicken on the cooling rack for 15-20 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy!

I just found your blog and I think I am in love. I love low carb eating as that is the only way I've been able to lose weight. Like most "diets" though--the food gets boring (like "unknown" above says!!)
I know this has to be a life style change so thank you, thank you for doing the hard work!!

Best, Cheri

I really want to try this but in my little small town ricotta cheese is non-existent. In your opinion, would it taste the same using cream cheese instead?
Love your page!

I would like to let you know that you are a genius. I have tried two of your dishes already and they both tasted like a restaurant quality meal. I cannot wait to try this dish next!
Your new fan,

I'm trying this now, and I am finding that I have to cook this at least 10 more min,, (the breast were quite large), but it smells good, also the bacon being thick, needed to be cooked more. Let you know how it turns out. I tasted the stuffing in it and it's delcious!! I've lost 36 lbs on low carb diet, and it's good to get variety, thank you!!
