Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4-6 slices of thick-cut honey-cured bacon (depending on the size of the chicken breasts)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for searing
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup to create a glaze. Set it aside.
-
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
-
Wrap each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of honey-cured bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks or kitchen twine if needed.
-
Heat a skillet or oven-safe pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bacon is partially cooked and lightly browned.
-
Brush the chicken breasts with the honey-mustard-maple glaze, making sure to coat them evenly.
-
Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the bacon is crispy and caramelized.
-
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, you can brush on more glaze for extra flavor.
-
Remove the bacon-wrapped chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
-
Slice the bacon-wrapped chicken into medallions and drizzle any remaining glaze over the top.
-
Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
This dish combines the smokiness of the honey-cured bacon with the sweet and tangy flavors of the honey-mustard-maple glaze, creating a perfect balance of flavors. It's a decadent and savory meal that's sure to impress your family or guests. Enjoy!
