Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  4. Evenly coat each chicken breast with the spice mixture.
  5. Wrap two slices of bacon around each chicken breast, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  6. Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
  8. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispy bacon, you can place the chicken under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to control the level of spice.
  • You can substitute maple syrup for brown sugar for a different sweet profile.
