Instructions

Get Prepped. Start by lining a big baking sheet with foil, then place parchment paper on it and set aside. Then preheat your oven to 400F, and while it heats up, wash and clean your chicken breasts if you prefer, and use paper towels to pat them dry.
Cut the Chicken. Cut your chicken by making 3 to 4 slashes with a knife (see photo).
Season. Put your slashed chicken breasts into a bowl and add the seasoning ingredients – ACV, olive oil, onion powder, paprika, Knorr, salt, ginger, thyme, black pepper, and cayenne. Using clean hands or wearing gloves, combine the chicken with all the seasoning ingredients.
Wrap Chicken with Bacon. Use 1-2 bacon to wrap each chicken breast. Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on the lined baking sheet.
BakeBake for 30-35 or until fully cooked. You use the meat thermometer to ensure your meat is properly cooked. During the last 5 minutes, switch the oven setting to broil to get them nice and browned up.
Serve and Enjoy! Garnish and serve bacon-wrapped chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as cauliflower rice, polenta, etc!

Notes

When you slash the chicken breasts, make sure you’re not cutting them too deeply or you’ll wind up with pieces instead of whole breasts.

I use two bacon strips to wrap each breast, though a bigger chicken breast may need 2 ½ strips of bacon.

Use a meat thermometer at the thickest part of the chicken to make sure it is completely cooked to 165F internally.

During the broiling part, keep a watchful eye to make sure it doesn’t burn.

Gravy: And finally, this is optional but I wholeheartedly recommend that you make a quick gravy with 1 cup of chicken broth, 2 tablespoons of flour, and some seasoning (as needed) to make this recipe even more ahh-mazing!

Note that serving your bacon wrapped chicken breasts with gravy is optional. But the fam love it with gravy sometimes.
