Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 8 slices Bacon
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and rub the seasoning mixture evenly across all sides of each breast.
Place 2 slices of bacon on a flat surface, slightly overlapping. Lay one chicken breast on top and wrap the bacon around it. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and bacon slices.
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the wrapped chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the bacon starts to crisp.
Drizzle honey over the top of the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts.
Add the fresh thyme sprigs to the skillet around the chicken for added aroma.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
