- 2 1/2 pounds chicken breasts skinless, boneless ( about 4 Large chicken breasts)
- 1/4 cup ( 50 grams) brown sugar
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 8 slices bacon
- 1/2 cup wine or water
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley or your favorite herb
- Toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° Degrees Fahrenheit ( 190° Degrees Celsius)
- Take the chicken breast from the package and dry with a paper towel.
- Place the chicken on a large cutting board and with a sharp knife carefully trim any fat from the chicken breast, and cut out any blood spots and tendons.
- If you want to make the breast whole you can. I preferred to cut them in halves to make small pieces.
- After in a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, minced garlic and the spices and make a paste and rub all over the chicken breasts on both sides. Let Them marinate for 5 minutes.
- Wrap each chicken breast in 2 or 3 slices of bacon and Secure with toothpick. Wrap all your chicken pieces. Set aside.
- Place the wrapped chicken on baking dish, Sprinkle the remaining mixture over the top of the chicken breasts.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and chicken is cooked through, basting the chicken occasionally with the pan drippings. If it is too dry add a little water or wine.
- If you like your bacon extra crispy, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes. But be careful not to dry the chicken or burn.
- Garnish with your favorite herb and serve with rice, pasta or mashed potato.
