Deliciously crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside – a guaranteed hit for the whole family!

1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

2

While the oven is preheating, take each chicken breast and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1 inch for even cooking. This should take about 5 minutes.

3

Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

4

Take a slice of cheddar cheese and place it on each chicken breast.

5

Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon, ensuring they are secured by tucking the ends underneath the chicken.

6

Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the wrapped chicken breasts for extra flavor and to help with browning.

7

Place the bacon-wrapped chicken in a baking dish, and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.

8

For additional crispiness, you can broil the chicken for an extra 2-3 minutes at the end if desired.

9

Once done, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

• Try using different types of cheese such as mozzarella or pepper jack for a twist on flavor.
• Add a layer of spinach or basil between the chicken and cheese for added freshness.
• Experiment by brushing the bacon with a maple syrup glaze before baking for a sweet-savory combination.

• Use toothpicks to secure bacon to the chicken if needed.
• For a spicy kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on the chicken before wrapping.
• Make sure to let the chicken rest before serving to retain its juices.
