Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breast
Report
Bacon wrapped chicken is easy and DELICIOUS! Chicken seasoned, wrapped in bacon, then baked until the chicken is moist and the bacon crispy.

Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus additional for serving
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 8 ounces each
- 8 bacon slices not thick cut bacon
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- cracked black pepper optional
- chopped fresh chives for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a small bowl, stir together the smoked paprika, thyme, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper.
- Pat the chicken dry. Sprinkle the chicken evenly on both sides with thyme mixture, rubbing to coat.
- Wrap 2 bacon slices around each breast, covering it as evenly as you can.
- Place the chicken breast, seam-side down, in the prepared dish.
- To the same bowl you used for the seasonings, add the maple syrup and vinegar and stir to combine.
- Brush the tops of the chicken with the maple syrup mixture. If desired, crack black pepper over the top.
- Bake the bacon wrapped chicken for 20 to 25 minutes, until a thermometer inserted at the thickest part registers 165°F (I typically pull my chicken a few degrees early, then let the carryover cooking finish the rest). Brush the chicken with the liquid that has collected at the bottom of the pan halfway through.
- If you’d like to crisp the top of the bacon, switch the oven to broil. Broil the chicken for 1 to 3 minutes, until it is crisped to your liking.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and immediately sprinkle with a pinch of additional salt. Let rest at least 5 minutes to allow the juices to reincorporate into the chicken. Sprinkle with chives. Enjoy!
Notes
- TO STORE: Refrigerate chicken in an airtight storage container for up to 2 days.
- TO REHEAT: Rewarm leftovers in a baking dish in the oven at 350 degrees F.
- TO FREEZE: Freeze chicken in an airtight freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
