Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts and sear on each side for about 3 minutes until golden brown.
Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic cloves, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, dried thyme, and dried rosemary to the skillet. Stir well and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of smoked bacon.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with your choice of low-carb vegetables or a side salad.
