Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 8 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, trim any excess fat.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the fresh tarragon, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken breasts.
Step 5
Lay two slices of bacon side-by-side slightly overlapping. Place one chicken breast on top and tightly wrap the bacon around it. Repeat for the remaining chicken breasts.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bacon starts to crisp.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet if not using an oven-safe skillet). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the tarragon chicken wrapped in bacon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
