Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
12 slice bacon
1 c favorite bbq sauce, i love sweet baby ray's original
1 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large jellyroll pan (or large cookie sheet with rim) with foil so it's hanging over a little. Line up bacon side by side in jellroll pan (may overlap a bit) and bake for 12 minutes. You want to partially cook it and still have it limp. Do not drain off bacon grease from jellyroll pan, you will need this later in the pan. Increase oven temp to 400 degrees.
  • 2. Trim your chicken breasts of excess fat, if any, and slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you have two large tenders from each whole breast. Take 4 of your pieces of bacon and cut in half. Wrap 1 whole and 1 half piece of bacon around each chicken breast tender making sure ends of bacon are tucked under bottom of chicken piece.
  • 3. Place all of your bacon wrapped chicken in same jellyroll pan you cooked the bacon in with reserved bacon grease. Baste chicken pieces with BBQ sauce, using about 1/2 cup of sauce. Bake in oven for 20 minutes, check for doneness. Remove from oven and baste chicken with remaining BBQ sauce. Turn oven to broil and broil chicken for 3~4 minutes to crisp up the bacon and carmalize the BBQ sauce slightly. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
  • 4. Remove from oven and place chicken on serving platter. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over all of the chicken and let melt. Enjoy!!

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Brine the chicken: This helps to tenderize the chicken and add flavor. You can use a simple brine made with water, salt, and sugar.
  • Use high-quality bacon: Thick-cut bacon is best for this recipe. It will provide more flavor and hold up better on the grill.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

BBQ Bacon-Wrapped Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a grilled chicken recipe, give this one a try.
