Ingredients for 4 persons
- 150 grams of South Tyrolean bacon (Protected Geographic Indication)
- 2 chickens
- 250 grams of chicken breast, trimmed
- 160 grams of cream
- 1 egg white
- 1 clove of garlic

Preparation
Cut the chicken breast into small pieces, mix with the cream and egg white, salt and pepper, and let freeze slightly in the freezer. Then puree thoroughly in a mixer. Dice three-fourths of the bacon and add to the mixture. Place the chicken breast stuffing in a cool place. Cut up the chickens and set aside the drumsticks for other uses. Take the chicken breast (with skin), trim, and cut a pocket in the side. Fill the pocket with the chicken/bacon mixture using a pastry bag. Salt and pepper the stuffed chicken breast. Then sear it in olive oil on the skin side; add the garlic and rosemary. Turn the stuffed chicken breast and fry on the other side. You will need to fry each side approx. 7 minutes. Then let the stuffed chicken breast sit in the oven at 80 °C for 25 minutes. Drain off the meat juice and keep it warm.

Vegetables
Clean the vegetables and cut into pieces. Cook until tender in a pan with olive oil for about 15 minutes. Coarsely cut the earth almonds and add.

Presentation
Distribute the vegetables on the plates, slice the stuffed chicken breast at a slant and place on top. Garnish with the meat juice and, finally, decorate with strips of bacon.
