Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 6 slices of bacon
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own Bacon Garlic Parmesan Chicken Delight:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
3. Cook Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in the skillet.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic to the reserved bacon drippings. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt.
5. Wrap Chicken: Wrap each chicken breast with slices of bacon, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.
6. Add to Skillet: Place the wrapped chicken breasts in the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until the bacon is slightly browned.
7. Add Parmesan: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken breasts. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is golden brown.
