Maple Mustard Glazed Bacon Wrapped Chicken
Everything is better with bacon. These chicken breasts are moist and flavorful and come together in no time.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, patted dry
- Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 8 to 12 slices of bacon this depends on how large the chicken breasts are, I used 2 to 2 1/2 slices of bacon for each.
For the Glaze:
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚F.
- Season each chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Wrap each chicken breast with bacon slices and place in a 9 x 13' baking dish, seam-side down.
- In a small bowl whisk together maple syrup and Dijon mustard until well combined.
- Using a pastry brush, brush each chicken breast with maple mustard glaze. Reserve some to baste while baking.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until done, brushing with the glaze a couple of times during baking. Chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165˚F on an instant-read thermometer. Start checking for doneness at around 40 - 45 minutes.
- To serve, spoon juices over chicken and garnish with parsley.
