Ingredients
- Chicken breasts: 4 medium, boneless, skinless
- Turkey bacon: 8 slices
- Brown sugar: 1/4 cup, packed
- Soy sauce: 2 tablespoons
- Apple cider vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- Onion powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Step 2: Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of turkey bacon, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Step 4: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned.
- Step 5: Place the seared chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the chicken.
- Step 6: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crisp. Remove toothpicks before serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to avoid drying out the chicken, adding a splash of water or broth if needed.
- Serve this sweet and savory chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or fluffy rice to balance the richness.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in half of the brown sugar mixture for at least 30 minutes before wrapping with bacon.
