Take slices of bacon and cut them in half.
Lay the end of the chicken slightly over one of the slices of bacon.
Then add a spoonful of cilantro lime pesto, a slice of roasted pepper
{ I used store bought roasted red peppers in a jar}
then a large pinch of shredded cheese and roll up the chicken
so that the seam ends up on top of the slice of bacon
