Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 8 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, trim any excess fat.
In a small bowl, combine the fresh tarragon, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning mixture.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken breasts.
Lay two slices of bacon side-by-side slightly overlapping. Place one chicken breast on top and tightly wrap the bacon around it. Repeat for the remaining chicken breasts.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bacon starts to crisp.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet if not using an oven-safe skillet). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the tarragon chicken wrapped in bacon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
