Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• 4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (16 ounce) package bacon
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and onion powder together in a small bowl. Rub 1/2 of the spice mix over chicken breasts.

Step 3

Wrap each breast with 2 to 4 slices of bacon, depending on size. Place in a baking dish and sprinkle remaining spice mix over top.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 5

Serve topped with parsley.
