My bacon wrapped chicken is somewhat of a cheat. I’ve discovered that totally enveloping the chicken by bacon can leave you with soaked bacon on the base. It’s simpler, and quicker, to simply lay the bacon on top of the chicken.The hardest piece of this chicken supper is that you need to hang tight for it to cook and smell how stunning it is.
If the chicken hasn’t been cooked yet, you will notice an odor and the coloring will be more of a gray than pink. Never risk eating old raw chicken, because it can make you very ill. If you have already baked the bacon wrapped chicken, then you may notice that it appears really watery when it’s going bad. You may also notice that it smells weird or has mold growing on it. When in question, toss it to be safe.

Ingredients
- 5-6 chicken breasts cut in half width wise to make wide, thin pieces (about 2.5-3 lbs.)
- 2 tbsp seasoning rub (I use my smoked paprika rub, but you can use a seasoning salt or bbq rub – basically any rub with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika – not an herb rub)
- ½ lb bacon cut strips in half
- 4 oz shredded cheddar
- sugar free barbecue sauce (optional, to serve).
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Rub both sides of chicken breasts with seasoning rub. Top each with a piece of bacon. Bake for 30 min on the top rack until the chicken is 160 degrees and the bacon looks crispy.
- Remove tray from the oven and sprinkle the cheese oven the bacon. Put back in the oven for about 10 min until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Serve with barbecue sauce.
Notes
I always use my Smoked Paprika Seasoning Rub on this. It has only 4 ingredients and lasts for months. I make a big batch and use it on chicken and pork frequently.
