Can we just talk about the versatility bacon for a minute here? I really believe that anything wrapped in bacon is going to be amazingly delicious. I’ve even had bacon in chocolate! Chocolate!

There’s also a quote that says, “Even vegetarians eat bacon.” As a former vegetarian, I can say that that quote is almost true. I never fried up some bacon with breakfast or anything like that. But, if I ordered a salad and they mistakenly put bacon on it, I didn’t send it back. I’d pick around it for sure, but I know I got a piece here and there.

Now that I’m back on the meat-eating wagon (at least for the moment), I have wrapped pork in bacon, beef bites in bacon, and now chicken in bacon.

Due to the popularity of my Brown Sugar Honey Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin, I decided why mess with a good thing? This recipe for Brown Sugar Honey Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts is the same recipe, just scaled down and with chicken!

Chicken is kind of plain. I always want sauce or more flavor with it and this recipe definitely satisfies that need! The sweetness from the brown sugar and honey combined with the saltiness of the bacon really adds a lot! Not to mention, the bacon fat keeps the chicken moist, so the probability of anyone making this recipe and ending up with dry, flavorless chicken, is like 0%.

Brown Sugar Honey Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts

Prep!

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Rinse and pat the chicken breasts dry.

Create!

Wrap 2-3 pieces of bacon around each chicken breast, tucking the ends underneath, if possible. Top with the remaining brown sugar and honey.

Bake for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165°F.  For crispier bacon, place under the broiler for a couple minutes, watching constantly to prevent it from burning.

Present!

There isn’t much needed to make this meal look amazing! Enjoy!
