Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices low sodium bacon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil to coat evenly, then sprinkle the spice mixture all over the chicken, ensuring an even distribution.
Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of low sodium bacon, tucking the ends underneath to secure.
Arrange the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
For an extra crispy bacon finish, broil for an additional 3-5 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
