Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon, ensuring the bacon covers the entire chicken breast. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, sear the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts over medium-high heat until the bacon is crispy on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Brush each chicken breast generously with BBQ sauce. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
- During the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken breasts. Continue baking until the cheese is slightly melted and bubbly.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
