Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Vegan chicken breasts
- 8 strips Vegan bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. This will create a marinade for the vegan chicken.
Brush the marinade generously over each piece of vegan chicken.
Wrap each piece of vegan chicken with two strips of vegan bacon, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
Place the wrapped vegan chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle fresh thyme over the top of each wrapped piece.
Drizzle maple syrup evenly over the vegan bacon-wrapped chicken pieces.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the vegan bacon is crispy and the 'chicken' is heated through.
Remove from the oven, take out the toothpicks if used, and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of sides or a fresh salad.
