Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices low sodium bacon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.
Rub each chicken breast with a small amount of olive oil, then season generously with the spice blend.
Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of low sodium bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish.
Sprinkle fresh thyme evenly over each wrapped chicken breast, pressing gently to adhere.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.
