Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
- 8 strips of bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Slice the chicken: Cut each chicken breast into four thin strips for even cooking.
- Coat with seasoning: Mix brown sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss the chicken strips until fully coated.
- Wrap with bacon: Wrap each chicken strip tightly with a slice of bacon, tucking the ends underneath or securing them with a toothpick.
- Arrange and sprinkle: Place the bacon-wrapped chicken in a baking dish and sprinkle the remaining brown sugar on top.
- Bake until crispy: Bake for 20-25 minutes until the bacon is cooked through and crisp. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
