[allrecipes.com]
2 servings:

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1 tsp butter
1 clove garlic, minced
4 thick slices of applewood smoked bacon
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Pound each chicken breast to about 1/4" to 1/2" thick, then cut each breast into 2 pieces. Saute shallots in butter for 1 minute, add garlic and saute 1 more minute. Mix shallots and garlic with Gorgonzola cheese and parsley. Divide mixture evenly between 4 pieces of chicken. Place the mixture on the center of each piec of chicken and roll the sides up around mixture. Cut the bacon pieces in half. Stretch them and wrap them around the chicken "rolls". Bake at 350 for 40 minutes (or until chicken is no longer pink). Put oven on broil for a couple minutes at the end to crisp the bacon.
