How to Make Bacon Chicken

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease.
Season chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Wrap each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
Place bacon-wrapped chicken breasts in a baking dish.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is crispy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
