Instructions
Bacon wrapped chicken

- Bacon - Then, wrap each chicken roll with a slice of bacon. Brush each roll with mustard paste. Pro tip - You can also brush with some Sriracha for a little spice.8 slices Bacon , 2 tbsp Mustard paste
- Bake - Place the rolls in a baking dish seam side down. Place into the oven and partially bake for 15 minutes. Pro tip - If you plan to serve the chicken wrapped in bacon on its own, bake it fully for 25 minutes.
Mushroom gravy

- Gravy - Add the flour and saute for 2 minutes on medium heat. Then, gradually add the milk, in three batches, making sure to stir constantly to prevent lumps. Cook the mushrooms in milk for 8 to 10 minutes until thickens.Pro tip - Keep the heat to medium-low, as necessary, to prevent the gravy from scorching at the bottom.2 tbsp Flour, 2 cups Whole milk

Assemble
- Combine - Pour the mushroom gravy mixture over the partially baked chicken in bacon.
- Bake - Top with the grated cheese and continue to bake in the oven for another 15 minutes until lightly golden on the top and bubbling on the sides.
