Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 8 pieces Bacon strips
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat dry the chicken breasts with a paper towel and season them with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper on all sides.
Wrap each chicken breast with two strips of bacon, overlapping the edges slightly to secure. You can use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place if needed.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Sear the bacon-wrapped chicken in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bacon is golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, and lemon juice. Stir well and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the capers to the sauce and simmer for another 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the bacon-wrapped chicken topped with the creamy lemon-caper sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
