2. Prepare Chicken: Using a sharp knife, carefully make a slit in each chicken breast. Be sure not to cut all the way through, creating a pocket for the delicious filling.

3. Stuff Chicken: Stuff each chicken breast with half a slice of mozzarella cheese, half a clove of garlic (minced), and a sage leaf. This flavorful combination adds depth to the dish and ensures every bite is bursting with flavor.

4. Wrap with Bacon: Carefully wrap two slices of bacon around each chicken breast, securing the filling inside. The bacon not only adds a smoky flavor but also helps keep the chicken moist and juicy during baking.

5. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Place the stuffed and wrapped chicken breasts in a baking dish, then drizzle with olive oil. This adds a touch of richness and helps the chicken cook evenly.

6. Bake: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake the chicken, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.

7. Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is tender and flavorful. Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
