Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 8 slices Smoky bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 200 grams, sliced Mushrooms
- 400 grams Canned chopped tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon, or to taste Black pepper
- 100 grams, grated Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons, for garnish Chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon ensuring it is secure and evenly covered.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on both sides until golden, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion for about 3 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are browned.
Stir in the canned chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the chicken and sauce.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving for an added touch of freshness.
