Bacon-Wrapped Chicken
This dish is perfect for impressing your friends or just treating yourself to a delicious dinner. It’s juicy, it’s flavorful, and best of all, it’s wrapped in BACON! What’s not to love?
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8-12 slices of bacon (because more is always better)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: your favorite BBQ sauce for basting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), because no one likes cold bacon.
- Take those chicken breasts and sprinkle them generously with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Give them a little love with your hands!
- Wrap each chicken breast in bacon slices. You can be as generous or as stingy as you like. More bacon means more flavor!
- Arrange the bacon-wrapped beauties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let there be some space between them for their crispy dreams to come true.
- If you're feeling saucy, brush on some BBQ sauce for that sweet and tangy goodness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the bacon is fabulously crispy. You might want to check on them around the 20-minute mark to avoid any bacon tragedies.
- Once they are out, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing—this helps keep all the juicy goodness locked inside!
Slice, serve, and watch your friends and family devour each succulent piece. This dish brings everyone to the table, and soon, you’ll need more bacon!
