Bacon Wrapped Honey Dijon Chicken Breasts
I am on a serious Dijon mustard kick. It’s so low in calories but it ads so much zest to every bite…mix a little honey with it and you get that perfect sweet ‘n salty explosion for your taste buds. I think everyone can agree that you can wrap anything in bacon and it will be delicious. For that reason alone (and so many more), you’ll love this golden sweet tangy chicken wrapped in smoky thick bacon. The flavor of the bacon seeps into the chicken as it cooks. Amazing, right?

February 1, 2019 at 1:14 AMI used 4 bone-in, skin on breasts. I added 1/2 C of real mayonnaise, 1/2 TBS Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tsp onion powder, which I slathered on the breasts prior to putting on the bacon as well as afterwards. I baked them for an hour or so at 350 to get the internal temp of 165, then let them rest for ten minutes under a foil tent. I also sprayed my baking dish with duck fat for the non-stick element. If you try it, please let me know what you think.
