Bacon-Guacamole Stuffed Chicken

Aloha!

As promised, I am providing you the King of King recipes I have tried since starting this blog. I found this recipe on Pinterest, of course! I did modify it to make it more AIP friendly and it was still da bomb! The guacamole on the inside kept the chicken juicy. The bacon wrapped on the outside gave it the flavor and crunch it needed. It is a melding of so many perfect elements, it makes your taste buds dance. So without further adieu, this fantastic recipe:
