Ingredients

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and rub the seasoning mixture evenly across all sides of each breast.
Step 4
Place 2 slices of bacon on a flat surface, slightly overlapping. Lay one chicken breast on top and wrap the bacon around it. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and bacon slices.

Drizzle honey over the top of the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts.
Step 7
Add the fresh thyme sprigs to the skillet around the chicken for added aroma.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
