How to Make Baked Chicken Breast Wrapped In Bacon With Chipotle Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wrap each chicken breast (about 6 oz each) in 2-3 slices of center-cut bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  3. Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on a non-stick baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
  5. While the chicken is baking (about 20 minutes before it's done), prepare the chipotle sauce.
  6. 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.
  7. Pour the sauce into a small saucepan. Add 2 chicken bouillon cubes and simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. To serve: Place each chicken breast on a plate and generously drizzle with the chipotle sauce.
  10. For an appetizer, cut the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and serve with the sauce on the side.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
