Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
8 slices bacon do not use thick cut
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
  • Rub half of the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts.
  • Wrap each chicken breast in 2 slices of bacon.
  • Place the chicken breasts, seam side down in a baking pan or ovenproof skillet.
  • Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture over the top of the chicken.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bacon is crisp and chicken is cooked through, basting the chicken occasionally with the pan drippings.
  • If you prefer extra crispy bacon, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.
