Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breast with Peach, Corn and Bacon Ragout

There's bacon in this recipe twice! I saw this meal being made on Cityline. Fantastic! A nice change from the meals I generally make. www.citytv.com/cityline/food/recipes/article/91292--bacon-wrapped-chicken-breast-with-peach-corn-and-bacon-ragout

Chicken Breast:
4 whole chicken breast
12 very thin slices bacon
1 tbsp grape seed oil

Niagara Peach Ragout:
¼ cup diced smoked bacon
1 tbsp butter
½ cup diced Niagara peaches
½ cup corn nibblets
¼ cup sliced shallots
½ cup 35% cream
½ cup Triple cream Brie
2 tbsp chopped rosemary
Salt, pepper to taste

Lay a large square of plastic wrap flat on the counter. Place the sliced bacon down the center of the plastic wrap. Place the chicken breast on top of the bacon, using the plastic wrap roll the bacon around the chicken. Chill for 15 minutes. Un wrap the plastic wrap and using the grape seed oil sear the wrapped chicken breast. Once golden brown on all sides place in a 400-degree oven for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Let rest for a least 3 minutes out of the oven before serving.

Melt the butter in a fry pan over medium to high heat. Add the bacon, shallots and sauté for about a minute to release the flavours. Then add the corn, rosemary and warm through. Now add the peaches and 35% cream and again warm through, once hot add the Brie and remove from the heat. Allow the Brie to soften, season with salt, pepper and serve.

Notes:
I didn't use grape seed oil. Just used butter.

The bacon renders a lot of fat... the recipe doesn't indicate draining any of it, but you may want to do that.
