This recipe is a bit of a favourite in my family. It is super easy to make and the crunchy combination of the breadcrumbs and bacon really adds to the dish. Usually I serve this with new potatoes and a green salad.

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts, boneless & skinless
• 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
• 3 rashers bacon – fried crisply and diced
• 100g butter
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp Worcester sauce
• 1/2 tsp dry mustard

Garlic Sauce

Dip chicken in butter mixture and place in shallow oven dish. Place breadcrumb mixture over chicken to cover each breast.
