4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
12 oz bacon, about 12 slices
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 large cloves garlic, minced, or garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
fresh parsley, minced – optional for serving
Instructions:
-Preheat oven to 375°F. Set aside a 13×9 inch baking pan with a trivet or rack to hold the chicken.
-In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar, garlic, salt and pepper together.
-Lay the chicken breasts on a work surface, and rub 1-2 tbsp of brown sugar onto each.
-Wrap each chicken breast with 2-3 bacon slices with slight overlap, starting and finishing on the bottom of the breast to secure if possible.
-Place into prepared pan and sprinkle any remaining brown sugar mixture on top.
-Bake for 25-30 minutes, brushing or spooning juices from the pan every 10 minutes for extra flavor.
Optional: after baking, place under the broiler (about 6 inches) for 2-3 minutes to crispen. Serve and enjoy!
