Chicken breast in bacon with aromatic cheese filling on a potato bed

4 servings

60 minutes

This recipe is a true gastronomic delight, combining the tenderness of chicken fillet, the crispy aroma of smoked bacon, and the rich flavor of cheese filling. The potato cushion soaked in meat juices becomes the perfect complement, adding softness and harmony to the dish. This cooking method comes from European cuisine, where balance of textures and richness of flavor are valued. Camembert adds refined creamy notes while truffle hard cheese adds a touch of spice. The baked meat in bacon creates a golden crust while keeping the juiciness inside. The dish is versatile—it can be served as an exquisite dinner or a treat for special occasions, accompanied by a light salad or a glass of white wine. Each portion is a small culinary masterpiece capable of surprising even the most demanding gourmets.
