Bacon Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken
Description
Bacon Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken combines a seasoning of packed brown sugar, minced garlic, kosher salt, and coarse ground black pepper that coats chicken breasts thoroughly. Each piece is wrapped with two slices of bacon to encase the chicken and to help keep the seasoning in place and add a smoky element.
The chicken is baked in a pan with relatively high sides to contain juices and prevent mess. Cooking at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes ensures the chicken is cooked through and the exterior browns well without burning the sugar. Attention is given to avoid burning the sugar, which can happen if cooked too long or at too high a temperature.
The resulting dish offers a sweet-savory flavor profile from the brown sugar and garlic combined with the bacon's smokiness. It's rich and can be served with simple sides to balance the flavors.
The recipe quantity serves six pieces; however, smaller batches can be made as preferred.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup brown sugar , packed
- 3 tablespoons garlic , minced
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper coarse ground
- 6 chicken breast boneless, skinless (4-5 ounces each
- 12 lices Bacon
Instructions
- In a large bowl add the brown sugar, garlic, salt and pepper and mix until combined.
- Coat the chicken in the sugar mixture.
- Wrap each piece of chicken with two slices of bacon (aim for the end of the bacon pieces to stay under the chicken to prevent unwrapping while cooking).
- Place into your baking pan (with at least 2 inch high sides).
- Top with the remaining sugar mixture.
- Cook at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through and browned.
- Careful to not let the sugar burn and blacken.
Notes
- This recipe yields six servings, but smaller quantities can be prepared based on need or portion sizes.
- To prevent the brown sugar from burning during baking, monitor closely and adjust cooking time if necessary.
