Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts * 3-4 breasts (2.5 lb bag of Open Acres Boneless Chicken Breasts are $3.99 this week)
  • 10 slices bacon * more or less as needed (2 for $6 for a pack of Our Family Sliced Bacon)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey (2 for $6 of 16oz. bottle of Our Family Honey Bear honey this week)

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. 
  2. Rinse and pat the chicken breasts dry. Place on a broiler pan.
  3. Sprinkle on 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar.
  4. Drizzle on 1 Tablespoon of the honey.
  5. Wrap 2-3 pieces of bacon around each chicken breast, tucking the ends under. 
  6. Top with the remaining brown sugar and honey. 
  7. Bake for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165°F. Chicken is done when it is no longer pink in the center.
  8. For crispier bacon, place under the broiler for a couple minutes, watching constantly to prevent it from burning. Rotate as needed.

 

Tips and Techniques for the Best Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts

  • If you prefer crispier bacon, place the baking sheet under the broiler after it’s done baking, watching closely to prevent burning. Rotate the chicken, as needed.
  • To grill Bacon Wrapped Chicken, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook the wrapped chicken breasts, turning often, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Store any leftover chicken covered tightly with plastic wrap in the refrigerator. Use within 3-4 days.
