Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 8 pieces Bacon strips
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Capers
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat dry the chicken breasts with a paper towel and season them with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Wrap each chicken breast with two strips of bacon, overlapping the edges slightly to secure. You can use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place if needed.

Step 4

Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Sear the bacon-wrapped chicken in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bacon is golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, and lemon juice. Stir well and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Add the capers to the sauce and simmer for another 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve the bacon-wrapped chicken topped with the creamy lemon-caper sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
