Sweet Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Breasts | 5 Flavorful Points

featured 8724

I first saw a version of this sweet bacon-wrapped chicken on a cooking show and saved it as something to try. After adapting it to be a little lighter, I ended up with a simple, flavorful dish that’s quick to prepare and relies on common pantry items. It’s ideal for busy weeknights and fits well into a calorie-conscious plan, while still tasting indulgent. The chicken bakes up juicy and tender, and the brown sugar–chili coating caramelizes to create a sweet-and-spicy crust. For a richer taste you can swap turkey bacon for regular bacon at the cost of a few extra calories, but the lean option keeps the recipe light and satisfying. This recipe also converts easily into bite-sized appetizers—slice the cooked chicken and cut the bacon strips into thirds. It’s a versatile, crowd-pleasing dish worth keeping in your rotation.
