I have to be honest… there is rarely a time when I am not craving bacon. I love bacon. It is delectable.
On Friday night I decided to do a little experimentation to come up with an amazing bacon-wrapped chicken recipe. Here is what I came up with… it was DELICIOUS!!!
Bacon-Wrapped Chicken
6 chicken breasts
1 (1lb.) package bacon
healthy sprinkle of sea salt
healthy sprinkle of black pepper
1 TBS. garlic powder
1 TBS. onion powder
1 TBS. chili powder
1 TBS. Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute (or your favorite poultry seasoning)
Around 1/2 C red wine
Directions
Preheat oven to 425, and line a 9×9 baking dish with aluminum foil.
Mix all seasonings together and then distribute evenly on chicken breasts.
Wrap each breast with 2-3 slices of bacon, and place them in the baking dish.
Pour wine into the bottom of the dish (it should make about 1/4 inch of liquid at the bottom of the dish). This really moistens the chicken as it bakes, and adds a tantalizing flavor!
Bake (uncovered) for 40 minutes, or until each breast reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
