  • Season the chicken breasts generously. Use your favorite seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Wrap the chicken breasts in bacon. Use about 3-4 slices of bacon per chicken breast, overlapping the slices slightly.
  • Secure the bacon with toothpicks. This will help the bacon stay in place while the chicken is cooking.
  • Bake the chicken breasts in a preheated oven. Cook the chicken breasts at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
