A delightful twist on a classic dish, this recipe combines the savory flavors of bacon with aromatic herbs to create a mouthwatering chicken dish.
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy bacon exterior.
Cut each chicken breast into evenly sized portions.
Uniform pieces cook more evenly, preventing undercooked or overcooked sections.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste.
Season generously to enhance the natural flavors of the chicken.
Wrap each chicken piece with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Ensure the bacon overlaps slightly for a secure wrap.
Place the bacon-wrapped chicken pieces in a baking dish and top with fresh rosemary sprigs.
Arrange the rosemary evenly to infuse the chicken with its aroma.
Roast in the oven for 15 minutes at 425°F.
Keep an eye on the bacon to ensure it doesn't burn.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and continue roasting until the chicken is fully cooked, about 10-15 minutes.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
