Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts Boneless and skinless
  • 8 strips bacon Use thick-cut for crunch
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic Minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Coat each chicken breast with the garlic and cheese mixture.
  4. Wrap each chicken breast with two strips of bacon, ensuring the ends are tucked underneath.
  5. Place the wrapped chicken in a greased baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
  7. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing, then serve warm.

Notes

Use fresh garlic for a stronger flavor. Don't rush the cooking; wait for the bacon to become crispy. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or frozen for future cravings.
