Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 slices bacon strips
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Prepare the chicken breasts by trimming any excess fat and patting them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme to create a seasoning mixture.

Step 4

Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over each chicken breast, making sure they are well coated.

Step 5

Lay two slices of bacon on a flat surface, slightly overlapping.

Step 6

Place one chicken breast at one end of the bacon slices and roll it up tightly, stretching the bacon slightly to overlap as you go.

Step 7

Place the bacon-wrapped chicken seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining chicken breasts.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy and browned.

Step 10

To ensure doneness, check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the bacon-wrapped chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
