Ingredients
- 4 Moody’s boneless skinless chicken breasts 6 to 7 ounces each
- 3 T honey
- 3 T Dijon mustard
- Olive oil or canola oil spray
- ½ t kosher salt
- ½ t garlic powder
- ¼ t fresh ground black pepper
- 8 Strips of Moody’s platter bacon
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a roasting rack in a roasting pan and spray with the oil.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and mustard. Divide into 2 portions and set aside.
-
Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Wrap each breast with 2 strips of bacon.
-
Place the wrapped chicken breasts on the prepared roasting rack and brush them with half the honey-mustard sauce (wash the basting brush for use when the chicken breasts are done or simply use another clean one).
-
Bake the chicken breasts for 15 to 20 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 160° to 165°F and the bacon is browned and crispy.
-
Remove the roasting pan from the oven and cover the chicken breasts loosely with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
-
Plate the chicken breasts and brush the breasts with the remaining honey-mustard sauce and serve.
Recipe Notes
*Chicken needs to rest after cooking in the same way as beef, lamb, and pork, to allow the juices to settle back into the meat.
