To make this delicious Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Breast with Savory Sauce, you will need:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 slices of bacon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

How to Make Bacon-Wrapped Chicken with Savory Sauce

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious dish:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.
3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bacon is golden brown.
4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes until soft. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
6. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the bacon is slightly overlapping when wrapping the chicken to ensure even cooking.
• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the fridge for 30 minutes before wrapping it in bacon.
• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, ensuring your chicken is perfectly cooked.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the chicken for pork tenderloin for a different protein option.
• Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the sauce for added depth of flavor.
• Experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or oregano, to customize the taste.

What to Serve With It

This Bacon-Wrapped Chicken pairs well with a variety of sides, such as:

• Steamed broccoli or green beans
• Garlic mashed potatoes
• Rice pilaf or quinoa
• Simple salad with vinaigrette

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until heated through.
