Ingredients for Bacony Chicken

  • Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • Bacon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Worcestershire Sauce

How to Make Bacony Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a baking sheet.
  3. Make two shallow slashes in each chicken breast.
  4. Cut 8 bacon strips in half. Insert half a bacon strip into each slash in the chicken breasts.
  5. In a small bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
  6. Brush the butter-Worcestershire mixture generously over the chicken and bacon.
  7. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste with pan drippings every 15 minutes.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite flavored rice and a fresh salad.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
