2. Spread chicken breast with garlic and lay the bacon across in strips just slightly overlapping each other.

 3. Spread with cream cheese (*Tip: I partially freeze my cream cheese so it crumbles like feta and is easy to disperse), add leek and 1/2 the parsley.

4. Use bacon to fold in edges, then roll your chicken firmly.

​5. When rolled. Lightly dust with flour and set aside to make your crumb coating mixture.

6. Add pretzels to a Ziploc bag and crush, then add parmesan  pepper and other half of parsley. mix. 
​

7. Brush outside of chicken with beaten egg and then firmly press on crumb mixture. After a good coating applied, use baking paper to firmly roll chicken breast once more. Rest in fridge for 30 min, this will help everything firm up and keep its shape.

12. Serve with roasted veg and gravy of your choice.

I served mine with BrocCauli Mash, Pumpkin and Roast Potato and for an extra little kick I added 1 tbsp. cream cheese to my gravy and a good dash of white pepper.
