4 - 6 pheasant breast halves, skin and bones intact
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chopped assorted fresh herbs such as basil, sage, rosemary, oregano, tarragon, parsley, etc
1/2 cup cooked diced smoky bacon
1 lemon, finely diced (the whole lemon)
1 teaspoon salt
pinch pepper
Using your fingers, start at the neck and carefully separate the skin from the breast. Combine garlic and remaining ingredients and spread a thin layer of the mixture between the skin and the breast of each bird. Place remaining herb stuff on the top of the breasts. If your breasts do not have any skin, just put all of the herb mixture on the top of the breasts. Place on a lightly-greased baking dish and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until breasts are just-cooked. Time and temperature will vary according to oven and size of pheasant..
