How Long to Cook Chicken Wrapped in Bacon

Bacon wrapped chicken is easy to make and doesn’t take all that long to cook. I personally like to cook it at a higher temp to make sure the bacon gets nice and crisp while the inside stays juicy and delicious.

I cook this recipe at 190°C  for about 35 min.

 

Any sort of southwest seasoning (or even a tex mex style seasoning) will work perfectly in this recipe, so just use what you have on hand.  If you prefer less heat, you can substitute the jalapenos with sliced green onions.  Note:  This recipe makes 2 chicken breasts but can easily be doubled/tripled.
