Bacon Wrapped Garlic Parmesan Chicken
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 slices turkey bacon
1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, garlic, melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Coat each chicken breast evenly with the garlic Parmesan mixture.
Wrap 2 slices of turkey bacon around each chicken breast and place them in a greased baking dish.
Assemble by spooning any remaining garlic Parmesan mixture over the chicken.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the turkey bacon is lightly crisp.
Broil for 2–3 minutes if desired for extra crispiness.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
