Servings: 4
Calories: 349kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup light or dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon avocado or canola oil
- 1 (12-ounce) package bacon (not thick-cut)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and have ready a rimmed baking sheet lined with nonstick aluminum foil. Combine the sugar and all of the spices in a small bowl and set it aside.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Then, on a work surface, drizzle them evenly with oil and rub all over until evenly coated. Season each chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar-spice mixture (totaling 4 tablespoons of seasoning) and rub/pat all over once more to adhere.
- Start at the tapered end of the chicken breast and begin tightly wrapping it with a slice of bacon, everso slightly overlapping as you loop it around, and adding a second slice of bacon as necessary.
- Transfer the chicken to the prepared pan and distribute the remaining brown sugar-spice across the top of them, and pat the adhere.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through. Allow to rest 5-10 minutes, serve, and enjoy!
