Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 400F.

Step 2

In a large bowl, rub the chicken breasts evenly with the honey, salt and the spices.

Step 3

Somewhat tightly wrap two strips of bacon over each chicken breast. You may use wooden sticks to secure the bacon strips.

Step 4

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts on both sides for about 1 1/2 minutes per side. For crispier bacon (like on the pictures above) you can sear for 2 minutes per side.

Step 5

Place your bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on a baking tray lined with foil or parchment paper and fitted with a cooling rack. Insert a BBQ thermometer probe if using.

Step 6

Bake on top rack for about 35 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 160F.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
