instructions
    1

    Begin by marinating the chicken breasts. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.

    2

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and coat evenly. Let them marinate for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

    3

    While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

    4

    After 15 minutes, wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if needed.

    5

    Once the grill is hot, place the bacon-wrapped chicken on the grill. Cook for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.

    6

    Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

    7

    After removing the chicken from the grill, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. During this time, you can also garnish with extra rosemary if desired.
