Ingredients
- 4 pieces Vegetarian chicken breast
- 8 strips Vegetarian bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Brush each vegetarian chicken breast generously with the marinade on both sides.
Wrap each chicken breast with two strips of vegetarian bacon, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
Place the wrapped chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place a sprig of fresh rosemary over each wrapped chicken breast for aroma and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the vegetarian bacon is crispy and the chicken substitute is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve warm, removing the rosemary sprigs before eating.
