Baked Bacon Wrapped Chicken with Brown Rice and Broccoli
RECIPE IDEA: Baked Bacon Wrapped Chicken Easy Peasy
Hi. It’s Lois at Recipe Idea Shop, with a Baked Bacon Wrapped Chicken recipe and telling you to take the day off today. It’s Labor Day in the U.S., a day when America celebrates the hard work of our citizens. Of course, if you work in a restaurant or in a retail store, you are likely working today. But even if you can’t take today off, this Baked Bacon Wrapped Chicken will make your day. It is so easy.
Bacon Makes It Better
You know me—I love my bacon. And wrapping up a chicken breast (or any poultry, actually) is a good way to use it. I first discovered this recipe back in the 1980s when my husband began to duck and goose hunt. I could never get into eating wild duck, but the Canadian goose is tasty if you wrap it in bacon. A wild goose is very lean and without the bacon, in my opinion, it is not worth eating. But wrap it in bacon and cook it laying on top of some stuffing with green pepper added, and YUM!
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts can be almost as dry as a wild goose. You can cook a chicken breast the way I described above, or bake it without the stuffing (by itself), wrapped in bacon. Simple. Simple. Simple. And darned tasty. Add some brown rice and a little steamed broccoli, and you have yourself a meal. Gluten free, I might add.
