bacon wrapped chicken

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 12 slices Bacon
• 1/2 cup Honey
• 1/4 cup Dijon Mustard
• 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
3. In a bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Add chicken to the honey mixture and toss to coat evenly.
5. Wrap each chicken cube with 2-3 slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
6. Place bacon-wrapped chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is crispy. Flip halfway through to ensure even cooking.
8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

• For extra crispy bacon, you can place the baking sheet under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
• To make this recipe ahead of time, prepare the chicken mixture and wrap the chicken with bacon. Store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
• Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or coleslaw.
