Ingredients
Scale
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 slices of bacon
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub the garlic mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
Starting at one end, wrap each chicken breast with 4 slices of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
Place the wrapped chicken breasts in a baking dish, seam side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the garlic mixture.
Substitute the chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a juicier option.
