  1. Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes, olives and garlic cloves and mix with the ajvar. Salt and pepper, make sure that the bacon already brings salt.
  1. Place 4 slices of bacon side by side, slightly overlapping. Brush the bacon slices with the ajvar mixture. Now place a chicken breast on each of the bacon slices and wrap it in it and place the seam side down in a pan and fry on all sides until crispy and finish cooking in the oven at approx. 140 degrees.

Lentil and pepper vegetables

  1. Bring the Puy lentils to a boil in enough water and simmer for 15 minutes at a low temperature, then pour over a sieve and drain well.

  1. Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the shallots and garlic until translucent, then add the diced paprika and fry for about 4 – 5 minutes, turning, then deglaze with the port wine and reduce the port wine almost completely.
  1. Then add the lentils and stir-fry for about 4 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.
