The bacon keeps the chicken white meat moist while the orange marmalade makes a delightful contrast to the smoky flavor of the bacon. Fast and easy to put together, this chicken dish bakes in less than 30 minutes.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 6 slices bacon
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a shallow baking pan with non-stick foil. (Omit foil and reduce temperature by 25 degrees if using a glass baking dish.)
Sprinkle each chicken breast evenly with poultry seasoning, then season generously with salt and pepper. Wrap each chicken breast with one slice of bacon and place in baking pan with bacon ends tucked under.
Melt together butter, Worcestershire sauce, and orange marmalade in the microwave for about 45 seconds on high. Stir until combined. Pour evenly over bacon-wrapped chicken breasts.
Bake until bacon is crisp and chicken tests done in the center (180 F.), about 25 to 30 minutes. (If the chicken breasts are thick, bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes.)
