Bacon chicken; easy and delicious
Someone posted this on Facebook and it looked good so I made it.
Boneless skinless chicken breasts
Bacon
Brown sugar
Seasoning
I marinated my chicken breasts in fat free Italian dressing, but season how you want
Cut each chicken breast into thirds
Wrap a slice of bacon around chicken
Roll in brown sugar
Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes
I baked mine on a rack so the grease will drip down. The calories are easy to figure out based on weight of your chicken and the bacon brand you use.
I'm thinking ahead. I could make this without the sugar and some pepper. I could marinate chicken in honey mustard of teriyaki. I could put asparagus in this.
I'm working on my protein intake, it's too low, this will help.

Thanks for sharing. I'm likely to skip the sugar, but it looks good.0

For extra protein, you could stuff the breast with a cheese mixture. I mix equal quantities of butter/cheese (I used a creamy cheese like brie or stilton but any softer type cheese would work) add a teaspoon of mustard & some chopped herbs (personal choice but I like sage or coriander) Cut a pocket in the breast & add the mix, wrap in prosciutto, (easier to do if the prosciutto is straight from the fridge). Then seal in a hot pan for a couple of minutes each side & into the oven for 10 mins or so. I serve mine with tenderstem broccoli & spoon a little of the juices that escape onto the chicken. The mixture helps to keep the chicken succulent, worth a try if you want a different take on yours0
