Ingredients
- □ 4 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- □ 8 slices 8 slices bacon (do not use thick-cut)
- □ ¼ cup 1/4 cup brown sugar
- □ 2 teaspoons 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- □ ½ teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- □ ¼ teaspoon 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- □ ½ teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- □ ½ teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon salt
- □ 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preparing this brown sugar bacon wrapped chicken is simple and incredibly rewarding. I always start by preheating my oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly greasing my baking dish.
-
In a small bowl, I combine:
-
Brown sugar
-
Smoked paprika
-
Garlic powder
-
Onion powder
-
Black pepper
-
I mix everything thoroughly so the spices distribute evenly throughout the sugar. This mixture is what creates that irresistible sweet and smoky crust.
-
I bake the chicken uncovered at 375°F (190°C) for about 30–40 minutes, depending on thickness.
-
Halfway through baking, I like to spoon some of the caramelized juices from the pan over the top of the chicken to enhance flavor and moisture.
-
For slightly crispier bacon, I switch the oven to broil for the last 3–5 minutes. I keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
-
Using a meat thermometer, I ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
-
To freeze, I wrap each cooked chicken breast tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. I thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
