Oven-Baked Bacon-Wrapped Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 (16 ounce) package bacon
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your oven to a high temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or the equivalent temperature of 190 degrees Celsius, if your oven uses a different scale).
2
In a compact container, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and onion powder in a well-mixed blend.
3
Using your hands or a spoon, evenly distribute half of the spice mixture over each chicken breast.
4
Wrap each chicken breast with a layer of 2 to 4 slices of crispy bacon, depending on the size of your chicken.
5
Position each breast in a baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining spice mixture, ensuring an even coating.
6
Place the chicken in a preheated oven and bake until the bacon is golden brown, the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (or the equivalent internal temperature of 74 degrees Celsius), and the juices run clear, taking approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
7
Check the internal temperature of the chicken using an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center. If it meets the required standards, remove the chicken from the oven and serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
