  • 3.5 ounces of gorgonzola cheese
  • A few basil leaves
  • A few cherry tomatoes
  • Salt, pepper

  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Maggi seasoning
  • Salt, pepper

Preparation:

  1. Preparing the chicken: Wash, dry, and cut the chicken breasts into smaller portions. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap each piece with 1-2 slices of bacon.
  2. Frying the chicken: In a heated pan, fry the chicken on both sides until golden brown.
  3. Preparing the sauce: In the same pan, melt the gorgonzola cheese in the cream. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Combining the ingredients: Add the fried chicken to the sauce, chopped basil, and halved cherry tomatoes. Heat for a while.
  5. Preparing the salad: Mix the rocket with the chopped tomatoes. Mix olive oil, vinegar, honey, Maggi seasoning, and spices to prepare the salad dressing. Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving.

Tips:

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

Serve the chicken wrapped in bacon with creamy gorgonzola sauce, topped with basil and tomatoes. The prepared rocket salad will make a perfect side dish.
