Not just a slab of unseasoned chicken breast wrapped in a few strips of bacon. No, no, no. This is more than that. This is perfectly seasoned MOIST chicken encased in a crispy layer of sugar glazed bacon.
I should write commercials…
Anyway, this chicken is damn good. I’m sure we’re not the only household that always seems to have chicken and bacon in our fridge/freezer along with a plethora of random spices and seasonings in the cupboard? What I love about this recipe is that pretty much every house has the ingredients to it. It’s not going to take a grocery trip and searching around the speciality aisle to find what you need. If you’ve read my recipe posts before, you’ll know that I’m about SIMPLE, EASY, AND YUMMY – and that’s exactly what this meal is.
This recipe serves 2, but feel free to double/triple the recipe to account for any extra people!
What you’ll need
- 1 large chicken breast
- 4-6 rashes of streaky bacon
- chicken seasoning (see below)
- 1.5 tbsp brown sugar
- olive oil (optional)
For the seasoning:
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1.5 tsp chilli powder
- pinch of black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp flour
What do do with said ingredients
- Preheat oven to 390F and line a baking dish with tin foil, set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, make the seasoning for the chicken.
- Cut your chicken breast in half, lengthways, and coat in the seasoning, shaking off any excess.
- Wrap a rash of bacon around the strip of chicken from tip to tip – usually a second rash is required to finish wrapping the whole strip! Lay flat on the tin foil lined baking dish, and repeat on your other strip.
- Take the brown sugar and rub it into the bacon wrapped chicken, drizzle with olive oil afterwards as well if you wish, this will crisp the bacon up a little more when cooking!
- Pop it in the oven for ~25-30mins – if you want the bacon to be a little more crispy, throw the broiler on for a few minutes before taking the dish out of the oven!
Serve with whatever you like! We had homemade potato fries and corn.
