  • 1 teaspoon of white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Maggi
  • Salt, pepper

Preparation:

  1. Preparing the chicken: Wash the chicken breasts, pat dry, and cut into smaller portions. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap each piece with 1-2 slices of bacon.
  2. Cooking the chicken: In a heated pan, sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown.
  3. Making the sauce: Melt the gorgonzola cheese in the cream in the same pan. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Combining ingredients: Add the seared chicken to the sauce, chopped basil and halved tomatoes. Heat through for a moment.
  5. Making the salad: Mix the arugula with sliced tomatoes. Mix olive oil, vinegar, honey, Maggi, and spices to prepare the salad dressing. Drizzle over the salad just before serving.

Tips:

              
  • Instead of gorgonzola: You can use another type of blue cheese.
  • Additions: You can add other favorite vegetables to the salad, such as cucumber, bell pepper, or onion.
  • Seeds: Sprinkle the salad with roasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds for extra crunch.

Serve the chicken wrapped in bacon with creamy gorgonzola sauce, garnished with basil and tomatoes. The prepared arugula salad will make a perfect accompaniment.
