Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon Preferred for extra crispiness
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic About 6 cloves
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh parsley for garnish Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. In a bowl, mix the minced garlic and grated Parmesan. Spread this mixture generously on top of each chicken breast.
  4. Carefully wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon, securing it with toothpicks if necessary.
Cooking
  1. Place the wrapped chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
  3. Remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then serve garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Feel free to substitute turkey bacon for a lighter option or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version. Ensure chicken breasts are of uniform thickness for even cooking.
