Bacon Wrapped Chicken with Bleu Cheese and Pecans

The gravy is really good!

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast, flattened slightly
salt and pepper
1 cup of bleu cheese crumbles
1/4 cup toasted, chopped pecans
2 green onion, chopped...white and green
8 slices of bacon
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of flour
1 cup of chicken stock
1/2 cup of half and half
2 tablespoons grainy mustard

Lay the chicken breast out and sprinkle with salt and pepper, bleu cheese, pecans, and scallions. Carefully roll them up and wrap each piece of chicken with two pieces of bacon. Place on a cookie sheet with the ends of the bacon on the bottom to help keep the chicken rolled up. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 40 minutes. Turn on the broiler and let the bacon crisp up at the end of the cooking period.
In a small saucepan melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for two minutes. Whisk in the chicken broth...cook on medium until thickened. Add the mustard and the half and half until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
