The Best Caramelized Bacon Wrapped Pesto Chicken
Report
This bacon wrapped pesto chicken is seasoned with pesto and parmesan then wrapped with bacon. The chicken starts by browning the bacon in a pan then it’s finished in the oven until caramelized. Spend only 5 minutes of prep time on this delicious chicken breast. It’s juicy from the bacon, and packed with flavor from the pesto and added cheese.
