Chicken breast with pistachio and marmalade stuffing

2 large chicken breasts (I used 3 medium ones)
2 rashers of bacon - diced finely
1 medium red onion - diced
1 tblspn pistachio's - chopped
1 tblspn thyme
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup bread crumbs
olive oil
toothpicks (for securing chicken closed)


Pre-heat oven to 180c and line a baking tray with baking paper (don't place in oven yet).

In a frypan heat 2 tspns olive oil. Saute bacon and onions until soft. Transfer to a bowl and mix together with pistachio's thyme, marmalade and bread crumbs.

Butterfly the chicken breast and divide misture evenly between them. Spread the mixture along one end of the chicken, season to taste, and then roll it up and secure with toothpicks.

In the same frying pan heat another two tspns olive oil and sear the chicken on all sides. Transfer to baking tray and place in oven for about 15 minutes, or until cooked.
