Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 12 pieces bacon strips
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 pieces toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 375°F/190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper together to create a spice rub.
Step 3
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Rub each chicken breast with olive oil and season generously with the spice rub on all sides.
Step 4
Take 3 bacon strips per chicken breast and wrap them tightly around each piece of chicken, slightly overlapping the edges of the bacon to secure them. Use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place if needed.
Step 5
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on the grill, seam-side down first.
Step 6
Grill the chicken for 10-12 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the bacon is crispy.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Step 8
Remove any toothpicks, serve immediately, and enjoy!
