Join the discussionThe instructions don’t mention the bacon. Is it placed inside the chicken breasts with the pesto? Thank you!
Hi Cindy! Yes, the bacon goes inside the chicken along with the pesto. Enjoy!
Please disregard. I must’ve had a blind moment.
I’ve been there- it’s ok! 🙂
Bake uncovered?
Correct! For the future, our recipes will indicate if it should be covered. Happy cooking!
