Chicken Breast wrapped in Streaky Bacon

preheat oven to 350º


I used boneless skinless chicken breasts that were all trimmed up. Season with salt and pepper then wrapped with thick cut Bacon (for my British friends this is thick slice streaky bacon). I used 2 of 3 slices of bacon, wrapped all the way around the chicken breast. I did drizzle a little bit of olive oil on the bake pan but to be honest the fat from the bacon will make it not stick to the baking sheet.
Cook for about 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked thoroughly and the bacon is crispy. Believe it or not but the chicken was remarkably moist- even after cooking so long.


*side note- I'm going to experiment with temperature and time and see if I can get the same results at a higher temperature with a shorter cooking time. Might have to solicit some friends to try this one on as my family gets rather tired of me cooking the same things over and over again trying to get a recipe down pat.
