Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 cup Gluten-free barbecue sauce
- 8 slices Gluten-free bacon strips
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with salt, ground black pepper, and smoked paprika.
In a large oven-safe skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and sear them for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
In the same skillet, arrange the bacon slices and cook them until they start to crisp. Remove them from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Remove excess grease from the skillet, then add the chicken breasts back in.
Generously spread the gluten-free barbecue sauce over each chicken breast.
Place two bacon slices on top of each chicken breast.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken and bacon.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (an internal temperature of 165°F / 75°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Gluten-Free Hunter's Chicken!
