Chicken wrapped in bacon
Method
For the chicken, tightly wrap a bacon rasher around each chicken strip. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the wrapped chicken strips for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden-brown and completely cooked through.

For the chutney, heat the oil in a small saucepan over a medium heat and fry the peppers for 2-3 minutes. Add the vinegar, sugar, ketchup and Tabasco sauce and simmer for 6-8 minutes. Stir in the herbs.

To serve, place the bacon-wrapped chicken strips onto a serving plate with the chutney in a small bowl alongside.
