Recipe of the Day: Bacon-wrapped Chicken Thighs stuffed with Asparagus, Goat Cheese and Herbs

This chicken recipe is really delicious and easy to make. It's also a great dish for a party as it doesn't take long to put together, the presentation is elegant and it's quite tasty.

The last time I made this dish, I served it with asparagus, but it will also go well with butternut squash sprinkled with bacon, garlic and leeks, celery-root puree or spaghetti squash.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs pounded to about 1/4 in
8 tbsp of herb, garlic or pepper goat cheese
4 spears of asparagus, cut into 3 pieces each
4 slices of thin cut bacon
6 tsp of dried Herbs de Provence
Salt and pepper to taste 

Directions 
1. Preheat oven to 375 F. 
2. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with 1 tsp of Herbs de Provence, salt and pepper. 
3. Add 2 tbsp of goat cheese and 3 pieces of asparagus in the center of each chicken thigh. 
4. Wrap each thigh with a strip of bacon and sprinkle each with a 1/2 tsp of Herbs de Provence. (Note: you will need some toothpicks to hold it together)
5. Bake for about 40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 F and the bacon is a nice and crispy.
