Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 8 slices bacon For wrapping chicken
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce For topping
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese For topping

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika to season them evenly.
  • Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon.

Cooking

  • Place the wrapped chicken in a baking dish and pour barbecue sauce over the top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
  • The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until melted and bubbly.

Serving
