Ingredients

• 4 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 8 slices of bacon (thick or thin, both work fine)
• 1½ tsp kosher salt (if using low sodium bacon), otherwise 1 tsp of kosher salt, plus more to taste
• ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tsp granulated garlic
• 1 tsp granulated onions
• 3 tsp honey or corn syrup

Directions

• Pre-heat the oven to 400F.
• In a large bowl, rub the chicken breasts evenly with the honey, salt and the spices.
• Somewhat tightly wrap two strips of bacon over each chicken breast. You may use wooden sticks to secure the bacon strips.
• Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts on both sides for about 1½ minutes per side. For crispier bacon (like on the pictures above) you can sear for 2 minutes per side.
• Place your bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on a baking tray lined with foil or parchment paper and fitted with a cooling rack. Insert a BBQ thermometer probe if using.
• Bake on top rack for about 35 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 160F.
• Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
