Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
- 4 sheets (large) aluminum foil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat grill to medium heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
Step 2
Prepare the chicken breasts by patting them dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
Step 5
Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of thick-cut bacon, overlapping the ends slightly to secure. If needed, use toothpicks to secure the bacon in place.
Step 6
Cut 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, large enough to fully wrap each chicken breast. Place a bacon-wrapped chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet.
Step 7
Fold the sides of the foil up and over the chicken to create a sealed packet, ensuring that no steam escapes during grilling.
Step 8
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before opening.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (if desired) and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
