How to Make Baked Chicken Breast Wrapped In Bacon With Chipotle Sauce
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wrap each chicken breast (about 6 oz each) in 2-3 slices of center-cut bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
- Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on a non-stick baking sheet.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
- While the chicken is baking (about 20 minutes before it's done), prepare the chipotle sauce.
- In a blender, combine 2 tablespoons of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup milk, and blend until smooth.
- Pour the sauce into a small saucepan. Add 2 chicken bouillon cubes and simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve: Place each chicken breast on a plate and generously drizzle with the chipotle sauce.
- For an appetizer, cut the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and serve with the sauce on the side.
