Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on middle (optional, but helps crisp the bacon).
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the seasoning blend evenly over each chicken breast.
    Four raw chicken breasts are lined up on white parchment paper, each coated with a blend of mixed spices, including visible red and black pepper, salt, and herbs—making them the perfect base for delicious bacon wrapped chicken breast recipes.
  • Wrap each seasoned chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon, slightly overlapping them and tucking the ends underneath to secure.
    Four Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts are arranged on white parchment paper, each raw chicken breast wrapped in strips of bacon and sprinkled lightly with seasoning.
  • In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup and lemon juice.
    A metal whisk with a wooden handle rests in a white bowl containing a small amount of brown liquid, set on a light-colored surface—perfect for preparing the glaze for Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breast.
  • Brush a light layer over the bacon-wrapped chicken. Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking rack or sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the bacon is nearly crisp.

  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
