After a good hour of browsing for ideas, this Prune Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breast was born. Oh and I served it in a pool of a simple but delicious gravy. Needless to say, my hubby was impressed. Yes, yes, not only you, Americans, love bacon. We here, in Europe, can’t live without it too! The only difference is the bacon itself. Our contains more meat and less fat. It’s more like a British version of bacon, I guess. However, it doesn’t matter at all, because for this recipe you can use any bacon you like!

The sweet taste of prunes goes so well with the chicken, Dijon, and bacon. Yum!

Only after cutting the meat they showed up and made for a pleasant surprise. Sometimes small details can have a big impact, huh?

    I am not a fan of prunes myself (although my husband is), but bacon wrapped chicken is always the way to go for a comforting meal.5 stars

    Oh that looks like a delicious midweek meal and easy too. I love smoked streaked bacon here in the UK, that’s my personal favourite 😀

      Not figs, but prunes, ha! But it’s an interesting idea, though. I’ll try using figs next time 😉
