Easy Chicken Breast Wrapped in Bacon Recipe

Cook Time: 25 minutes

This delicious dish is a perfect combination of tender chicken, crispy bacon, and savory barbecue sauce, topped with melted Cheddar cheese. Quick to prepare and incredibly satisfying!

Ingredients

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 slices bacon
1 (12 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce, or as needed
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese, or as needed

Directions

Fill a small saucepan with water and add the chicken breasts. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through. Once done, drain the water.
Preheat your oven to 375F (190C). While the oven heats up, wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon and place them into an ovenproof baking dish.
Generously cover the bacon-wrapped chicken with barbecue sauce, ensuring an even coating.
Sprinkle the grated Cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken breasts.
Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the chicken is fully cooked with no pink in the center.

I made some tweaks to a recipe and created a dish that my husband loved so much he asked me to make it again soon. I used a can of chicken broth, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, added water to just cover the chicken, and simmered for about 15 minutes. While this was cooking, I partially cooked the bacon until it was about halfway done, leaving it flexible enough to wrap around each chicken breast. Then, I baked it all at 375 degrees F for 14-15 minutes until perfectly cooked. Served with a side of rice, it was a delicious meal.

Absolutely delicious! Even my fussy kids couldn't resist it. I sprinkled some Swiss cheese in the final 10 minutes and there wasn't a single bite left. This recipe is definitely a keeper, I'll be sharing it with friends for sure!
