Brown Sugar Bacon Wrapped Chicken is a simple recipe that everyone will love. Chicken is rubbed with brown sugar and seasonings, wrapped in bacon and baked to golden crispy perfection! So juicy and flavorful you’ll want to make it again and again.

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 12 oz bacon, about 12 slices
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tsp garlic, minced
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Set aside a 13x9 inch baking pan or a broiler pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
3. Lay the chicken breasts on a work surface, and rub 1-2 tbsp of brown sugar onto each.
4. Wrap each chicken breast with 2-3 bacon slices with slight overlap, starting and finishing on the bottom of the breast to secure if possible.
5. Place into prepared pan and sprinkle any remaining brown sugar mixture on top.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, brushing with the juices every 10 minutes and rotating the pan for even browning.
7. Optional: after baking, place under the broiler (about 6 inches) for 2-3 minutes to crispen. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
• Bacon can start to smoke above 375°F, so you may need to adjust the temperature down slightly if your oven runs hot.
